![]() Love this Mobiles song. Sounds like a Toyah song to me though. I can totally imagine her singing it. |

There's something of a "mannequins come alive" style to this group.

It's alright, luv...we've already got a Toyah.
Not bad but just feels like a pale copy. |

The delayed jump was probably down to the change in the chart sales week for the first two months of 1982 as the TOTP effect kicked in a week later than usual (as I mentioned earlier the chart cut off point changed to a Friday for a while at the start of 1982 so any Saturday sales boost affected the chart a week later than usual).

Am sure I read that the tune was written for ToTP, then it was decided to release a signal so Phil invented the lyrics.
Because it was a class piece of music, and got free promotion every week on TOTP they decided to release it properly as a 45.Good decision, great song |

Great performance from The Mobiles - even if they are a bit too much like Siouxsie!! Surprised they didn't have more hits!

The Snowmen look messed up.
And how much does the guitarist in the pink jumpsuit love himself? |

'Jazz' Funk' two words that send a shiver down my spine!
Actually don't mind the song though.

Quality from Shakatak.
A shame, because of Yewtree, we only get Kraftwerk's 'The Model' once. |

"Jazz funk at its best" - not a great recommendation for me.
Having said that, where are the jazz and funk in this? |

"Nah, I don't need a stool to play this piano."
And three screens in one? The BBC spoil us. |

In a week's time, I'll be as old as Meat Loaf was in this video.
There's a thought I wish I never had. Poor man. I heard that he collapsed doing a concert a few days ago. Hope he'll be okay. I saw a documentary about him a year ago, and he appears to be a really good bloke. |
