Well then, you leave me no choice but to riposte with...

what is, actually, a pretty cool little classic 80’s tune.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUA7F9j_xzs[/youtube]

Whoopsy. Guess you gotta go there to hear it, but it's worth the trip.

With apologies that this is a promo video...in spite of this band being awesome live (at least they were 20 years ago), there doesn't seem to be a live version that does this song justice:

Rememer this? It’s the song that kicked off the famous formula: M+TV= $²

But please, could you indulge me in a secret 80’s confession?

I can’t help but to sing along with this song when I hear it:

Ah, the lovely Ms Lennox

Interesting (or not so) trivia.
When I was in first year at college, a guy who was in my class but was a mature student, used to play bass in a jazz band.
The band's singer was - Annie Lennox

I never attended college with their bass player, but I did stay at the same hotel as them for a few days in Houston several years back ... does that count?

An odd little side note, I met these guys while working as a front office manager at a large hotel in Springfield MO. Their tour bus broke down and they stayed with us while it was repaired. I cringed when, upon checking in, the little front desk girl asked if they thought they would ever make the mainstream music scene. Bless her little heart.

Anyway, I got to hang out with them a bit after work and found them to be an easygoing, likable lot.

Here are some "classic" songs I like a lot.
But I'm sure you knew them already...

Is it all right to link to the songs on the www where you can't download them - but just listen - or should it all go?
What about the pictures?

More interesting trivia. The Eurythmics first appearance on The Old Grey Whistle Test featured a guitar player that once worked and frequented Bristol Musical. Where I met Old Scratch many moons ago. Roger Pomfrey.

Haha, Instant Karma, only yesterday I was playing this version with almost the same crew on my new geetaar. Calpton is good Prince is too, it's a great song.
