Pepperpot me to! I've got an old video, Non Stop Erotic Cabaret I think? Anyway there's a bit in it when Marc says "Pissed again and it's only 11 o clock in the morning", still cracks me up! Grin

I love nearly all of those - my favourite is 'Don't you want me?' by the Human League.

pepperpot99 · 01/04/2018 07:39

Aah Lagune, all the lyrics are flooding back to me now...."I'm in a Rolls Royce looking so huge" Grin.

You'd never get away with lyrics about disco dollies, hand jobs, dwarves in bondage and porn theatres these days.... Grin

If I think about it for too long I'll have a list the length of my arm. It was a fantastic decade for music.

The80sweregreat · 01/04/2018 09:05

Always on my mind is a great song, the Pet shop boys are still going strong to this day. West end girls was so different when it was first released, but then i am old enough to remember them all first time around.

mammmamia · 01/04/2018 09:06

Yes it is although it’s a cover of an Elvis song the PSB version is better.

I also love Heart by PSB
