DD2 suprised me tonight by singing it to me (apparently it's on some advert or other at the moment). so we found it on YouTube and it's just marvellous. truly marvellous. even now.

(sighs at wistful teenage evenings spent gazing out of my bedroon window listening to heavily sythnthasized love songs)

Total classic. May the Moyet live on forever.

SlightlyTubbyHali · 21/01/2011 21:51

Love it. It's my karaoke song.

Deciduousblonde · 21/01/2011 21:51

Still one of my favourites. It's sublime :)

southeastastra · 21/01/2011 21:51

i really hated it with a passion

hippytrippynamedropper · 21/01/2011 21:52

YABU. It is. I have also recently rediscovered 'Nobody's Diary' which I think is perfect and very underated.

LetThereBeRock · 21/01/2011 21:52

Was that the one that played in the Office Christmas special as Dawn and Tim kissed?

Mingg · 21/01/2011 21:53

Agree, truly marvellous

giyadas · 21/01/2011 21:53

slartybartfast · 21/01/2011 21:53

southeastastra · 21/01/2011 21:53

maxpower · 21/01/2011 21:54

mozette · 21/01/2011 21:56

muminthemiddle · 21/01/2011 22:00

Fantastic, as were most of Yazoos songs.

MrsSchadenfreude · 21/01/2011 22:00

YANBU. And also Winter Kills.

slartybartfast · 21/01/2011 22:00

i think i have the album it is from - on vinyl of course

Deciduousblonde · 21/01/2011 22:01

It was a crime that Yazoo never got to #1 with their version, but The Flying Pickets did.

I'll never get over it :(

verytellytubby · 21/01/2011 22:02

Brilliant Grin

Love it.

oldraver · 21/01/2011 22:03

Although I do like the Flying Pickets version Yazoo's will always be the best. I have the 12" hidden away somewhere

I Have bothe of their albums on vinyl but have only been able to find the first one Upstairs At Eric's on cd

Species8472 · 21/01/2011 22:04

Yazoo's original version pisses on the Flying Pickets.

JoBettany · 21/01/2011 22:05

YANBU - I loved it the first time round. Just watched it on youtube with tears in my eyes. It seems like a lifetime ago.

Amazing.
