    This was their 4th appearance on the show, so they decided to mix up the band so played different instruments (marc and ped swapped bass and drums) and frankie decided to wander around the crowd which at that time was very rare You can see the audience and camera crew caught out. The BBC were probably annoyed. An epic song from that glorious music year 1984. The Sun newspaper wrote crap stories about him so he ripped it up at the start.

      Umm the least talented member of the band, just minced around like a cross between Basil Fawlty and Freddie Mercury.
      Doing simple backing vocals, he certainly did very well out of his gay following..
      Unfortunately for them it was all about the production, hence why thier live shows were pretty much like top of the pops, occasionally signing along to a backing track or miming along..
      They had the song writing talent and were musicians but couldn't replicate it live

    FGTH were a seminal band. Amid a sea of new romantic ripples they were a tsunami of political and sexual expression that pulled no punches. The production on this track and the entire album was next level. I don't think they get enough recognition.

    I was 14 when they released this, the band is from my home town. So proud when they were number 1 for 10 weeks. Every time they were on totp they were messing about. In this one Pete Gill the drummer playing the bass while the bassist Mark O'Toole is playing the drums. That's why Gill is laughing his head off throughout. They changed music in the mid 80s, such a huge band. This song is so relevant now.

Reminds me of a scene from the Royle family when Jim is teasing his son about his new band, because one of them doesn't play anything, and just dances about. "You don't want him there just dancing about do ya?" And his son answers "Not really, but we have to... it's his Amps what we're using."

    For a live performance, and as a history buff I see some symbolism not only in the fact that the American flag half of the stage is more predominantly featured but at the 3:10 mark the lighting is more dominant to that side. I wasn't around for that era of the world but watching and old video like this it's like they knew who was gonna come out on top in the cold war. Now if only we can make the second chapter of it
