[Shirley]

Here she is again
DO-DO YOU LOVE ME?
NO

 

[Shirley]

GOT TO KEEP ON

 

[Shirley]

I thought T'PAU had already HAD their LAST GASP

 

[Shirley]

PEOPLE HOLD ON again

Eeh it's a BANGER Mrs Eckersthwaite

 

[Shirley]

I cannot take the Simply Red version of this song even REMOTELY seriously any more

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Fuck Mick Hucknall.

Did we know Tiff from Eas... oh of course you do.

 

[Shirley]

I do quite like BABY I DON'T CARE even if it is DAFT OLD WINDY and her SUPPOSEDLY TESCO-BANNED TITS

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Who was that love from Brookie that covered this to GREAT ACCLAIM?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

You know aged 8, I watched the Like A Prayer video and wasn't remotely scandalised. Who was?

 

[Shirley]

And the LAST MINUTE of 'LIKE A PRAYER' AGAIN! I'm writing to POINTS OF VIEW

 

[Shirley]

Who was that love from Brookie that covered this to GREAT ACCLAIM?

 

[Zu]

You know aged 8, I watched the Like A Prayer video and wasn't remotely scandalised. Who was?

Absolutely no-one apart from the BECAUSE BLACK brigade

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She looks ready for a bit of DP.

 

[Zu]

NICE PAIR

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I just looked her up on Instagram as is de rigueur these days. She's all LOVE LIFE LOVE to the surprise of no one EVER.

 

[Shirley]

I heard that she`s fat fat fat! much to the DISGUST of the DAILY HEIL no doubt

 

[Shirley]

'Got To Keep On' is such a BANGER

Go EDWIN

Gaining RESPECT
With a COOL BRITISH DIALECT

 

[Shirley]

Ten City

OH WHAT A YEAR FOR DANCING

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I have never heard either of these before. Much like.

 

[Shirley]

The LONDON BOYS ENTER THE CHARTS! And DE LA SOUL! Along with my well-known favourite Jody Watley

OH GOD HERE'S THAT SHOUTY GINGER BINT AGAIN FETCH ME THE EAR MUFFS MOTHER

 

[Shirley]

A lot of people I knew in '89 liked INXS but I was never that struck TBH

 

[Shirley]

'Good Thing' is a BOP really isn't it. You can't FAULT IT

 

[Shirley]

ADEVA is still on the RISE

 

[Shirley]

Oh U2 before they became even slightly interesting

 

[Shirley]

OMG ADEVA IS ON

ONE DAY WE'LL ALL BE FREEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Shirley]

GOD I LOVE THAT SO MUCH *expires*

 

[Shirley]

I still don't really like ETERNAL FLAME. It's kind of ANNOYING

YES IT IS, ISN'T IT SHIRL

 

[AGinAg (37)]

No.

Atomic Kitten to be hung, drawn and quartered.

 

[octophone]

I#ll never understand why I find it so hard to keep up with this...it's almost as if I have no attention span whatsoev....SQUIRREL!

 

[octophone]

Is that Billie ray Martin with S'Express?

Not their best - Philip Glass doing a remix was my introduction to minimalism. Not a very good one, mind you.

 

[octophone]

Michael Jackson - "Leave Me Alone". Abbreviated from the original title "Don't Leave Me Alone With Your Child".

 

[octophone]

Edie Brickell - fuck off, utter shite. What a fucking drip. There's not one member of her band I wouldn't punch as well.

 

[octophone]

This is a very skippable episode....no wonder I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

Simple Minds....why would they only play a wee bit of it? I mean, obviously it's diabolical but was it considered politically risky? I note most of the short clip was instrumental...

 

[octophone]

I had forgotten that Living In a Box had another hit. Justly so, mind you*. Why do so many late 80's pop records sound exactly the same?

* i.e. the fact that I had forgotten it is just...

 

[octophone]

Christ, Texas. I haven't had testicles for over 3 years and yet I just felt them retract.

 

[octophone]

Looks like they were just cutting "Belfast Child" because it was boring as fuck.

 

[octophone]

"I'd Rather Jack".

Well, that AGED WELL.

 

[octophone]

"Nothing Has Been Proved" still sounds great tho'. I'm assuming Dusty's vocal style on this was because she was back on the ciggies.

 

[octophone]

Also, sorry...I always had a soft spot for Lenny Henry. I have no such soft spot for Deacon Blue.

 

[octophone]

Oh, Paula Abdul - this is OK actually. I would probably have been annoyed at this episode at the time because they dropped the Breakers which would surely have included The Wonder Stuff, who I liked a lot.
