Have to agree with that. Despite the "Surreal" imagery of this video surrounding the images that showed Kajagoogoo bravely moving on without Limahl, the video is worth a view as this song was a small Dance Club favorite (at least in The US) I think thanks to Beggs' Bassline moving the song. Stick Bass footage is here.


A 1985 single which went hardly anywhere. Not a bad song, but nothing seriously standing out to being them back to chart prominence either. I was not too much into their music, but saw them as an interesting chapter in the quick rise and fall stories of the decade with a few good singles sides. Points for trying one more time, though.

Which I need to dig into more!

Leminol for the most reminds of Flecktones The Sinister Minister the most.



Also Kajagoogoo I shoudl always delve into them like alot of other bands I suppose, however I will have to be listening to that song more.


This.......this is my most guilty of all 80s pleasures (I assure you...there is many.)



The original guilty pleasure I was going to post was Limahl's Never Ending story, untill Limahl side tracked me with other peoples post anyways.

Also anything to do with Little Nell Campbell of Rocky Horror fame.

And a thousand other more. Big hair, massive shoulders, shiny tops and cheesy lyrics, who could ask for more?

Too many...

but the first to come to mind when I think '80's guilty pleasure' is "Everything She Wants" by Wham!
