| Neil, at one time you couldn't flipping get away from them!
I'd also like an honourable mention here of those early stalwarts
of electro-bop, the mighty Landscape (Einstein a Go-go)

| 555.4 | Modern Romance? | YUPPY::OHAGANB | Vambo rules okay!! | Wed Nov 29 1989 13:33 | 12 |
| They probably don't qualify on the grounds that had more than one
hit...........but how could anyone ever forget, the one and only,
MODERN ROMANCE!! ( aaaaaggggghhhhh!!!! )
Remember the lead singer who looked like a spiv with that moustache?
How could anyone forget that git of a bass player with the wedge
haircut ( complete with streaks ) and the way that he used to pout
at the camera on TOTP's?
And God those songs!! Latin meets Salsa meets Leighton Buzzard equals
dance the human chain round the Benidorm nightclub after 26 pints
of lager. Ohhhhhhh!!

Of course we mustn't for Sigue Sigue Sickbag (sorry) Sputnik. What a
lovable bunch of rapscallions they were, and so talented :^)

I think Modern Romance had slightly more than one hit, too, but
no thanks to you for reminding me of them!!

Bob, I wasn't that I hadn't heard of them I was just trying to
agree with you in a funny sort of way.

| I like all these one hit `HOUSE' wonders who always feature someone.
If they're only gonna have one hit, why don't they have the singer in
the band ?

| The point about a lot of these one-hit house/dance records is that
very often it's the same people masquerading under several different
names. An article in this month's Q throws a lot of light on this;
just check out the names of the 'producers', you'll find there are
far less of them than there are 'bands'.

| AH Tight Fit! and it was as I remember. Interesting costumes! (Who
cares about the music.)
Wasn't it something about "in the jungle, I jump around and all
you in the front row get a good view"?
Wasn't Joe Dolce 1980s too?

| 555.12 | | SHAPES::WILLIAMSJ1 | | Fri Dec 08 1989 17:26 | 5 |
| No, I think that awful bloke was late 70's. I remember because Terry
Wogan (yeah, I know, Terry Wogan on Radio 2) used to play it every day
and I memorised the words for some reason.
Awful.

| Re .11 I think the track in question was/is called 'The Lion Roars
Tonight'. To my knowledge it's been 'done' by a number of artists.

PS I saw that he is gigging in London again soon. I thought he had
vanished.
PPS How about the group that did 'The first picture of You', and
someone else called 'This Island Earth'?
