To wonder if Chris DeBurgh was ever considered a sex symbol?

[ManicUnicorn]

Just that really. Ive been watching the Now 80's channel on Sky and Lady in Red is on it a lot, I remember my DM and my aunties loving the song. They were obsessed with it actually, and it was huge. But really, he's such a funny looking man. I can't imagine him ever being considered attractive or sexy?

For some reason I can't post a link, but Google "Chris de Burgh Bill Bailey" and play the song "Beautiful Ladies in Danger". You won't regret it.

Bailey calls him The Monobrowed Purveyor of Ultimate Filth.

Yeah, Lady in Red wasn't about the au pair, who he did also shag but not until later. It was about his fling with Barbara Castle. Quite shocking at the time, really. Presumably she thought he was sexy though.

Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
She looks great, she feels good, lives in my neighbourhood,
And when she walks past my house she brings me to my knees,
It's like a long dark shadow falling over me; I'm talking 'bout
Blonde hair, blue jeans, she haunts me in my dreams,
I wake up, I fall down, I'm lost in what I've found,
Because she lies beside me and whispers in my ear, please, please,
And when I start to kiss her she just disappears;
I'm gonna be where I want to be,
That's holding her right next to me,
I'm gonna get her in my life, anyway at all; I'm talking 'bout
Blonde hair, blue jeans, best thing I've ever seen,
We're so right, we're skintight, and I'll be with her tonight,
I'm gonna bring her up and take her on the floor,
And when the morning comes then she's gonna beg for more,
I'm talking 'bout, blonde hair, blue jeans,
I'm talking 'bout, I'm talking 'bout,
Blonde hair, blue jeans.

Gross. Must have been like shagging a weasel.

Barbara Castle

goes to google Barbara Castle

Me too alltoo

Barbara Castle??!!!!!!!!!

In Place Of Wife 😮😮

A Baroness. But nothing on google about him and her?

''I've been married to Diane for nearly 34 years and the key is to have respect for your partner and to give them space. To say that I'm a proud father is diminishing things somewhat. My wife had an ectopic pregnancy in 1982 and a gynaecologist told us that we had a 5% chance of having children so when Rosanna was born two years later followed by two boys, Hubie and Mike, we fully appreciated how blessed we are''.

hmm what part of respect is shagging the au pair?

Wasn't Barbara Castle a Labour MP?

Well, he had a face for radio...let's leave it at that.
