Stephen "Tin Tin" Duffy - Icing On the Cake

[maurizioprovolente1]

Fine song of 1985,i remember!

[DAVIDDOVE50]

AWESOME MEMORY OF MY CLUB DAYS :)

[MMensch]

A nice enough video, I liked the abstract geometric intro best. Not so sure about the song though, it's like the jaded directionlessness of Johnny Hates Jazz half a decade before the fact.

[DemonLlamaJay]

Corking!!! Takes me back to the decade that I loved the most. Thanks for posting!!

[Schitti21]

I loved, loved, loved this song and still do! And still know the lyrics... I was 14 these days... ;-)

[fonzithornton]

One of the most visually striking videos from 1985. And the song is perfection anyway!

[Alxalifate]

I can "see" why so menee Pakistanis adopted Tin Tin's stripey material in the Video to be "Their New National Flag"! That is unless they got bored with it and went off looking for more victims to sacrifice to their God 'Ash'aitan"

[throbasonic1982]

This is in my top 10 80's. Thank you for posting.

[FindoGask100]

I seem to have read somewhere, in the 80's, that it was a close thing between Duffy and LeBon for the Duran Duran frontman. I love this song though.

[richardbenton65]

@FindoGask100 In actual fact Stephen was the lead singer of Duran Duran before Simon and before they became famous.

[ariellevonglitz]

They have been playing this alot on jack fm 106 for a while now. Its the only reason i looked for it. Great track.

[missparkerpretender]

Great tune, reminds me of CFNY before the fall

[supermaxim109]

Left on the doorstep of the social security/

Hopin' for a future as someone/

Not just a leisure refugee

classsssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssic

[sonnythetwit]

Great upload, its been sooooo long since i heard this nearly forgot how good it was, wont forget now.

[omegamann71]

Wonderful ! 80's tunes were so full of positive energy

[Feisty1967]

Stephen looks completely bored and in-different throughout the whole video. This is a great song and it deserved a better video than this!!! On a positive note, it does take me back to when I was 17 and innocent!!

[RattiMorgan]

I went to the same school as Stephen (at different times) Ward End in Birmingham..We are all talented from that area...

[NemoFitzgerald]

Dazzle!

[footballisrubbish]

i love this song im 37 now and had completely forgotten about it till i heard it on a compilation album it still sounds great now!!!

[valeymac]

OMG ty made my day, loved it then love it now x. in my head (prob) i seem to remember someone telling me he was the singer with duran duran b4 le bon, am i just dreaming that, or can i add it to my geeky knowledge as true

[gamein60seconds]

@valeymac You are certainly correct. Duffy was a founder member, playing bass, and as a vocalist. In fact he found some of his early work with DD on a tape, contacted Nick from the band, and they collaborated to re-record it in 2002. It was released under the band name "the Devils" and is called "Dark Circles".

[ronniedoll]

God I love the 80's!!!!!!!!

[ronatthetowers]

the LAST of the crooners...

[odinswolf1969]

if anyone could find the UK Top of the Pops version of this song and post it I'd be very happy. He had 2 backing singers in black dresses and I fell in love with one of them years ago

[MrMurray007]

It`s years since i heard this, and i still like it.

[mrmalade]

[tetronell]

[Dryfanny]

Brilliant to have found this again takes me back to my mid 20s when life was a nonstop party happy days.

[marienphil]

[Perizada]

I love love love the clothes in this video :) In spite of my averversion to wearing black all the time(Flamenco teacher insists on us wearing Black and doesn't like eighties music but he's great anyway)

[habbers2003]

Gave up looking for this tune on youtube..thank you so much.... love this song..happy memories :]]]]

[lazydog67]

Thank you for posting this video - it makes me feel old but it IS brilliant and takes me right back.

Cheers.

[axe28]

Superb - massively underrated at the time, but real quality. Thankyou.

[MsCocoaKitty]

Beautiful! Thank you! This was my absolute favourite track from one of my fave albums of all time. I just found The Ups and Downs after over 15 years of hunting high and low for a CD version and listened to it exclusively for the first week after it arrived.

The sound quality on this is amazing and it's so great to see it again after all these years. Thanks so much!

[yyz71]

first singer for duran duran................

[wotdoesthisbuttondo]

i thought i had a future as someone, not just a leisure refugee................

[pointyhead0301]

oh soo good to hear and see this again!!

[thevids2112]

For so long this video was not on youtube, i had taped it off Much Music via Satellite and had it on a old VHS tape from back in the day.

I always felt this should have been as big as Kiss Me.

Thanks for posting your Audio Quality is excellent, did u retrack it?

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

@thevids2112

No, I didn't retrack the audio. But THANKS for the WONDERFUL comment! And I agree, this should have been just as big as "Kiss Me". 101% GENIUS Pop. Mwah !

[Perizada]

I Love This :)

Must resist Bob cut

[pitochupon]

[GeekVideo]

@pitochupon

Thanks! Recalled one of my Teens memories!
