Mine is Operaa House by Malcolm McLaren. I spent many a happy hour being driven through New Zealand as a kid torturing my parents by singing along to this and Aria on Air but no one I’ve meet seems to know of it. Still absolutely adore it as an adult but sadly no better at singing it.

I went to see Shakespeare's Sister back in 2019 and they were brilliant. They finished the gig with You're History.

Oh you lucky thing - Marcella Detroit and Siobhan Fahey are just ❤️
I was lucky enough to see bananarama a few years ago with the original lineup - they were amazing.

I'll Fly With You by Gigi D'Agostino.

The DJ in the pub I worked in used to play it just as I was finishing up and grabbing a pint. It meant the start of the weekend.

I had a giant Flood poster on my wall as a student. Still have this and Istanbul on my playlist.

Didn't they, They Might Be Giants, sing the Malcolm in The Middle program?

In Glasgow recently and was delighted to hear "Boy with the Arab Strap" by Belle and Sebastian quite a bit. Huge back when it was the theme for "Teachers". Absolute ear worm...

Tacky Love Song by Credit to the Nation.

I'll be really surprised if anyone else remembers it but I LOVED it when it was played daily on MTV back in 1998! It sampled High & Dry by Radiohead and the girl from The Queens Nose was in the video. Happy days.

Specksofwhiteallaround · 01/11/2024 22:14

Has anyone else heard Under the Water by Merril Bainbridge? I was obsessed with her album but no one I’ve met since leaving NZ seems to have heard of her.
