Thanks. My favorite XTC song.

Wow, am I out of the loop. I’ve only vaguely heard of this group and never of this song, but reading the other comments I am obviously standing alone. I blame my sons. They are the ones through the years who have kept me informed and au currant on music, so they dropped the ball here. My second daughter introduced me to opera and while my knowledge is not that of a broad base I do really like The Marriage of Figaro, Rigoletto, but was disappointed by Carmen.
However, specifically to this post; thank you. You have introduced me to a group that I shall further explore.🎶🎸🥁🎵

I saw them live ! Terrific show !

Not sure why we’re watching Colin mime when it’s clearly Andy who’s singing.

[@jrstafford5821]

Colin wrote it and sung it - though it does sound like Andy, probably due to both of them having strong Swindon accents.

Great band

[@peterhawker3958]

Brilliant new wave of 1980, add in OMD, The Vapours, the specials, early Spandau, Blondie, the Police, Dexys, Madness, Martha & the muffins, Bad manners, The pretenders, Gary numan etc what a fantastic era.
