Thompson Twins - You Take Me Up

[danbo1984]

wow, the tossers they used to get in the TOTP audience; I'd forgotten how many trainee estate agents in white jackets with rolled-up sleeves there were!

[GazzaCal123]

@danbo1984 A quite damning, but absolutely spot on assessment of the audience. I pissed myself when I read that :) There were some right wankers in there, and usually on every week.

I was a mad punk when this was out, didnt like or dislike this, but bloidy hell man what a really good piece of music it is!!!!, i hope theyre all still around and doing ok in their lives in this day and age!!! Love and respect from peterlee in county durham xx

Fear not, the fight for your FAITH. I believe the Lord has no fear to fight for us. Listen to the message and gain strenth.

[lecochonbleu]

Ended up a promising minimalist mix version on this show. Still waiting, though.

[sablepoot1967]

i was the biggest thompson twins fan was only about 10 when they had hold me now out.loved tom bailey sooooo much,he was gorgeous <3 <3 x

[teefax8535]

There is a story about these Leather Jackets, I remember the twins in an interview said that their clothing never arrived on time and the jackets were all they had to wear...

[FeedbackPete]

This performance has always been special to me as it was the appearance that actually got me into being a lifelong Twins fan. I was 14 and although I think seeing them peform We Are Detective on Totp planted the seed in my mind this was the one that cemented it. At the time I loved the jackets I thought the band looked really cool and that was it I was smitten and never looked back. I went on holiday to my aunts in London. Went into Woolworths in Dalston and bought the 7". The rest is history.

[annikee59]

Love every bit of this!!!!!

[80sfan1]

Yeah, for top of the pop pics the artist usually liped insted of actually singing. But trust me, this song is all thompson twins.

[CalgarSkull]
