KAJAGOOGOO, BATCHES

It???s the music equivalent of a Pen & Pixel cover:
you had me right there...

Back in my teen years, my dad went to England on business, so I asked him to bring me back some "cool music magazines" and some "cool music." He came back a week later strapped with some magazines whose charts were populated almost exclusively by compilations, and the then-latest Bros cd ("The guy in the store said they're the biggest thing going!"). And, I mean, I was on some Punks Not Dead shit at the time. What's the opposite of "well chuffed"?

All that notwithstanding, what I am saying is: I'm afraid I'm gonna need you to run that belt, too, holmes. I'm not tryna go out half-dipped. I can offer you some Esprit and a vest to be named later. Take it or leave it.




you give D.Tompkins a run for the moola

Throw in three Z.Caviricci crouch labels and a pair of baby platform pointy-toed white Creepers* and it's a deal.

What I like about this picture is that you can tell who is in the band and who isn't...
 
The_Non said:I find the beginning to that song to be sample worthy. Moody loops




Absolutely agree!
 
I never saw this thread the first time 'round. Lulz all up in this.





Sulk: I recall a friend buying this upon release and telling me it was the best thing ever. One song was about a goat called Bop de la Bop (?) following you around, which he took to be an allusion to the devil. Most of it was tripe but I would ride for Country Club and Party Fears II.





Years later I would work with a dude who married Billy McKenzie's ex. She was absolutely stunning. I asked him why tf would Billy get tired of knocking the back out of that (but obviously much more subtly) and he replied that she'd left him when she caught him in bed with a man.





Oddly, considering the Kajagoogoo lyrics in post #1, your man Limahl must have felt strange delivering them as, IIRC, he too came on the other bus.

man I used to love me some clothes form Merry go round, Chess King, Oak Tree, and you can"t forget shoes from the Wild Pair...
 
Limahl was working as some sort of lighting tech in clubs until the 80's revival came back about 7 or 8 years ago.


My friends sister was seeing him for a while. We ended up at hers after the pub one night and found a card for her from him professing his love for her. In our drunken stupidity we got a pen and wrote "Kajapoo-poo" after his name.


They weren't impressed.
