Nice one Marc. Perfect example of how to steal the show! Not their very best song perhaps, more a 'record company pleasing moment' to be honest but still a good 'un.

I'd agree with that.
That ended pretty suddenly!
Weirdly, I didn't recall Soft Cell doing a version of 'What', and it took a moment or two to work out why it seemed familiar. I've got northern soul fans in the family, so I know the Judy Street original.

Yes shame they couldn't have swapped an edited song for them.
