BOYS DON'T CRY - i wanna be a cowboy ( lost hit )

Hi and welcome back.... I wonder if anyone can remember the name of teds horse?... His name is d.d.d..trigger, of course... "Boys don't cry" had nothing to do with the band "the cure" ( song with same name ) if fact they got their name from the song "i'm not in love" by 10cc.. the part being "be quiet, big boys don't cry". This 1986 song is about a cowboy named ted and his adventures with dirty women and his horse,trigger which is a daydream while lying in the bath. Its a funny song and is meant to look similar to the spaghetti westerns of yesteryear, not only that but his girlfriend on the record cover seems to have lost her top.. Maybe trigger could find it.. He was a good horse.


Excellent song ... CLICK HERE  to download the 12" version ... Enjoy

PH D - wont let you down ( lost hit )

Hi again... This song is one of those songs that when i close my eyes it takes me back to my nans house at 3am... I used to listen to the radio all night because i was too scared or too exited at being in a lonely old house so i would lay awake all night and would often hear this song. The band PH D got their name from the band members last names ( phillips, hymas and diamond ) and the single "i wont let you down" was released in 1982. The lead singer Jim Diamond ended with hepatitis and soon split from the band but later went solo and sang the song "should have known better" in 1984. The assassin in the video of "i wont let you down" is the keyboard player Tony Hymas and is quiet funny at times.. bit like a storyline.

PH D - i wont let you down


JIM DIAMOND - should have known better

JERMAINE STEWART - don't have to take clothes off for a good time ( lost hit )

Hello again... If there was ever a feel good song of the 80s it would have to be this one.. Taken from the 1986 album "frantic romantic" the song "we don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time" makes me feel fuzzy every time i hear it. Jermain Stewart started in the group "shalamar" as a backup singer then later for "culture club" on the "colour by numbers" album.He then went solo and scored a no 2 in the UK dance charts with this song. A girl band called the "clea girls" did a cover of this song, its not bad but its Jermaine i like to hear... Sadly Jermaine passed away in 1997 at the ripe age of 39 of a aids related liver cancer.... R.I.P.


JERMAINE STEWART - don't have to take our clothes off.


CLEA GIRLS - don't have to take our clothes off.



Love it... CLICK HERE to download the album "Frantic romantic"... huge thank you to babakazoo.blogspot.com for the link and remember if you like it .. buy it.. cheers.

HUMANOID - stakker humanoid ( lost hit )

Hello again.. Another of my favorite nightclub songs was this one.The main sound was from a Roland TB-303 synthesizer and a Roland TR-808 rhythm composer.What i like about this song apart from the great acid sound is the pumping bass...Released around 1988..One to be played loud... aceeeed.


If you ever had the urge to dance to this song in your lingerie this is how you'd look .. haha


After Brian Dougans aka "humanoid" ended this, he went on to become part of "the future sound of London".
