That was not actually by them It was around for a year or two before they added the 'chant' and released it under thier name. It was by some 'Brit Funk' act, but I forget who now.

Chant no.1 - not 3. Must've had a lapse again.

I cant remember where it came from either. 'Dont need this pressure on' - fantastic!

uncle buck

The League Unlimited Orchestra album was ground breaking.

The fist Tears for Fears album - Pale Shelter? - was amazingly inspired, as was the first ABC album.

uncle buck

Marky - that's the bit they added

Marky-San

Yeah mate, I know, but I'm singing/humming/making up the words to it now.

........and I cant sing either.

Jerome

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!!!!

I hate the 80's music. A musical desert IMO. I didn't even like nightclubs (discos) until the 90's came along. Maybe I'm an exception of my generation (b.1968), but my interest in music started after the acts listed here were but a memory.

Flame suit firmly zipped up...

Ralf

@Jerome: You are an exemption

If music started for you after the 80ies you had no youth.

Now where is the flame thrower with "Jerome" on it?

bros2

The Cure, The Mission, The Sisters of Mercy ...... aah, the 80's

And, of course, Bros

bros

Jerome

Phew, glad I zipped my flame proof suit up...

I reluctantly concede I did like some of the music in the 80's (Gary Numan, Stranglers etc). And I did go to disco's, I just didn't venture onto the dance floor much. I'd have never pulled if I did
