I only know cos I cheated and looked it up. So it's not fair of me to answer.

LoveMySituation · 03/11/2019 16:13

So did I fudge. Kept hoping someone would answer on here but they haven't Grin

WildRosie · 03/11/2019 19:51

I'll relaunch once more, if I may. Name Captain Sensible's three top twenty hits.

LoveMySituation · 03/11/2019 20:13

Happy talk is the only one I know I think. Does with the damned count? Halloween Wink

Ok. I'll give a clue re: Bananarama appearance in a video. It is a duo which had the spouse of one of the Bananarama girls. Not Wham if that helps.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 03/11/2019 23:42

Who’s that girl? Eurythmics.

I’m sorry I had to look it up.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 03/11/2019 23:45

Wrong thread but DID YOU KNOW that Captain Sensible and Paul O’Grady were probably separated at birth?

BareKneesDeCourcy · 03/11/2019 23:54

Who was it that said having a number one single felt like vaguely nothing, like having a cup of tea?

(I remember reading it in Smash Hits back then!)

xsquared · 03/11/2019 23:54

I only know Happy Talk by Captain Sensible.

xsquared · 03/11/2019 23:55

Bareknees I vaguely remember that. Was that Hollie Johnson or Neil Tennant?

LoveMySituation · 04/11/2019 00:11

I thought it was Boy George @bareknees, about sex Grin

MsPepperPotts · 04/11/2019 00:47

And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you.

Do you know which song these lyrics are from?

BareKneesDeCourcy · 04/11/2019 01:01

Neil Tennant!

Oh apparently Boy George said he’d rather have a cup of tea than sex.

These pop stars are so British!

Tartyflette · 04/11/2019 02:16

Boy George has subsequently admitted that the cup of tea thing was a big fat lie...

wowfudge · 04/11/2019 07:15

Glad it's all Over was another Captain Sensible hit.

Road to Hell by Chris Rea is the lyrics.

Name three hits of the 80s or 90s written by the artists as teenagers.

xsquared · 04/11/2019 07:27

Careless whisper by George Michael is one of them.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 04/11/2019 10:37

Debbie Gibson, Only in my dreams.

PS surely we can make sexy sex, THEN have a cup of tea?

WildRosie · 04/11/2019 17:51

Wot was the other Captain Sensible hit.

BareKneesDeCourcy · 04/11/2019 17:55

I dunno WildRosie wot was it, ha ha ha!

WildRosie · 04/11/2019 20:01

Larf. With which 70s punk band was Tenpole Tudor associated ?

xsquared · 06/11/2019 08:05

Sex pistols?
