NEW ORDER - world in motion (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back... Released for England's 1990 FIFA World cup campain, World in motion was New Orders only No1UK single.
World in motion was originally going to be called "E for England" but due to the worries from the football association that E stood for the drug ecstasy, the band decided that World in Motion was a better choice.
This is an excellent song that sadly is not heard of anymore... Thank goodness for Youtube.

DONNA SUMMER - died 17/05/2012

Hello and welcome back...Sadly another great musician from the 70s/80s has passed away.
Donna Summer died on the 17th may 2012 due to complications with cancer. She was only 63
Donna had some great songs from the disco era in the 70s thru to the early & late 80s
I will always love remembering Saturday night parties when Donna Summers song "I Feel Love" blasted out of the speakers with the heavy synths played by music genius Giorgio Moroder.... good times
Other songs I like from Donna Summer is "Hot Stuff", "She works hard for the money",State of Independence" and "This time i know its for real".

Rest In Peace Donna.


I FEEL LOVE



HOT STUFF



SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY



STATE OF INDEPENDENCE



THIS TIME I KNOW IT'S FOR REAL


                                                      THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC

TIFFANY - think we're alone now (Classic 12 Inches)

Hello and welcome back...Brilliant song that I never get sick of listening to. This song came out in 1987 and went straight to no1 on the music charts.
Love how this 12" version seems to bring out the synths a bit more as the bass is pumping and even has the occasional cricket noise.... Now, I'm in heaven.











TIFFANY - think we're alone now

WANG CHUNG - Dance Hall Days ( Classic 12 Inches )

Hello and welcome back.... Love this version of "Wang Chung" - Dance hall days, It makes a good song sound even better (have you ever noticed that all the good songs don't seem to go long enough?)













WANG CHUNG - Dance Hall Days

SANDY MARTON - exotic & erotic (lost hit)

Hello and welcome back... looking like a cross between Fabio and George Michael (well, I think so), Sandy Marton sings this ditty about being exotic & erotic while playing a mean synth, meanwhile a women in lingerie is blowing kisses and stroking a puppy who looks like he wants to be somewhere else, all that in one video... What more could you ask for.

SANDY MARTON - exotic & erotic

LIL LOUIS & THE WORLD - I called you (lost hit)

Unusual song with a message for everyone about love, oh... and a girlfriend who sounds like she's had one to many Panadol and is into stalking... in a blue car. Lucky it wasn't a red car, then he'd be in trouble.

PLASTIC BERTRAND - ca plane pour moi ( lost hit )

Hello and welcome back...Just outside the 80s was this strange song.
Sang by Belgian musician Roger Allen Francois Jouret ( aka Plastic Bertrand ) in 1978.
He started his career in music as a drummer in the band "The Bisons" playing Rolling Stone covers.

O.k here's the bad news, Plastic Bertrand didn't actually sing this, The song "Ca Plane Pour Moi" was recorded in a studio and was sung and produced by Lou Deprijck.
For his efforts "Plastic Bertrand" received only 0.5% of the song royalties (Milli Vanilli anyone )...Still its a great song and even better when had one too many to drink and you try to sing the lyrics...English translation is interesting... goes something like "Wham Bam my Splash Cat",  least everyone knows the chorus... Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo

PLASTIC BERTRAND  - ca plane pour moi



LYRICS TRANSLATED  (yes, its real) .. taken from spicks and specks TV show..many thanks
