Yeah, thought so. Presumably they're right though!

Love this Mobiles song. Sounds like a Toyah song to me though. I can totally imagine her singing it.

Poor man's Kate Bush.

Mobiles- Cut-price Hazel O'Connor?

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

Don't remember this one at all.

Yes too much like Toyah.

Not bad but just feels like a pale copy.

Like a merry go round run by the Stasi.

Bit of Quantel fun there..

Oh no, they've come over all Cabaret.

Yep, of course. That explains a few chart run oddities around this time.

Nick Rhodes copy cat look-a-like on the keyboards.

Ha ha, you beat me to it!

Toyah played by Cleo Rocos.

Wikipedia (yeah, I know) suggests the reverse. Apparently it was on Lynott's 1980 LP, someone at TOTP liked the tune, they got rid of the vocals and remixed it for TOTP.

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

Another spot-on prediction from Peter there!

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

Yep PP they're gonna be HUGE, certainly not one hit wonders or anything.

The Snowmen look messed up.

And how much does the guitarist in the pink jumpsuit love himself?

Shakatak. Nice elevator musak.

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

Always liked Shakatak but not Shalamar!

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.

As long as you are not his weight, you should be okay.

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.
