This song reminds me of my family and me stopping for chips in a recently renovated cafe in Donegal on a rainy August day, 1988. There was the smell of freshly planed wood still in the air mixing deliciously with the smell of chips and vinegar. That song was playing on the radio in the background. I guess this is a sort of reverse Proustian rush I'm experiencing as I type this.
I liked both of them - and I liked all of the gay ones like Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Culture Club, Wham, Communards/Bronksi Beat - I fancied Morten Harket and the blond one from A-Ha like mad - even to this day, I’m still attracted to blond and ginger guys
So, I've started watching Grange Hill from the beginning (thanks Britbox) but it will be a while before I get to my era (mid-late 80s) - it's great from the start though. Anyway, it was the 'Sausage on a Fork' podcast that got me going down the GH rabbit-hole again, learning all sorts of behind the scenes stuff I never knew. Including the existence of one of the best 'so bad it's good' songs I've ever heard. Enjoy... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uqhv0GGuBw
