In the 80's I was totally crazy about Kajagoogoo...like most of the girls were nuts about Duran Duran.
This used to be my favourite song, I find it to this day even a little bit better than Too Shy...and needless to say 80's had a far more better music industry...I'm glad I was a teenager in the 80's and not nowadays as music nowadays sucks....no good :(
@paintedship, yep, I saw Nick Beggs playing with John Paul Jones a while back. Beggs was on stage wearing a kilt and playing a Chapman stick bass. Great show.
@paintedship i didnt know that to be honest, fair enough i suppose , but still think they was weak at the time.....mainly cause there was so many great bands in the 70s and 80s.....if you could compere them to todays bands they would probably be quite good, as at least 80% of music made in last few years is dreadfull
late great dj/vj kenny everett as yer taxi driver. this is zany and done w/ tongue in cheek,obviously. limahl had a great vox like the rest of that soulful brit clubby 80's sound:b george,andy/ erasure,a moyet, and marc almond lotta soul there in gray old UK.
NIck Beggs is a genius!!! hes a fantastically talented guy, jezz is a wicked drummer as for Stuart Coxford Neale is superb on keyboards and Steve Askew is a wicked lead guitarist .and Limahl ...is Gay ...Trust me! ;)
NIck Beggs is a genius!!! hes a fantastically tallented guy, jezz is a wicked drummer as for stuart croxford neale is superb on keyboards and Steve Askew is a wicked lead guitarist .and Limahl ...is Gay ...Trust me! ;)
I agree, Mr. Beggs is an extremely talented musician!!! I was in high school when this song came out. I always thought that Kajagoogoo/Kaja should have had much more comercial success here in the US.
Pick and choose the things you wear Feel free to look around with no obligation Times have changed so break new ground Feel free and take your time take a little extra time More time with no obligations. Clothes in vogue are all the rage But don't expect too much they can't perform miracles. Head to toe disguised again it's heavy when they say: We don't perform miracles no we don't perform miracles.
Kajagoogoo has got to be the lamest band name I ever heard. There outfits and style look horrible, even if it was the style at the time. Their lyrics are cheesier than a limburger warehouse and there videos are almost painful to watch at times. Everything about them is corny...
...So how can they still be so damn awesome?! They are one of my favorite bands at the moment and I can't stop listening to them. Nick beggs is a great bassist. These guys were underrated big time. I love the music!!
I gotta admit, when I first heard these guys I just seen them as just another new wave band. I didn't pay them any mind until I got into bass playing. After 12 years, I listened to these guys once again and never realized how good a bassist he really was. And then when he replaced Limahl as the lead singer and started playing a chapman stick I realized that he was underrated big time.
Do you think it would be possible to get sheet music for the bass in this tune? Its great!
@ZappaFan101 So underrated, but he's in another band atm and is having the time of his life, again haha. Nah but seriously he does appreciate it when people love their music :)
If you haven't found the sheet music yet I'm sure I can talk to him and he could rustle something up, sorry for the late reply btw, I have been away
Ok,... this has GOT to BE the WORSE video I HAVE EVER SEEN! I'm embarrassed for the lead singer; his dancing, if you can call it that-and he is JUST a little dramatic for me.. Oddly enough though, I want to get up and start dancing like that....I want to be a Jet Setter!
Either way, girls used to flip over these guys and those like them; I think whether they were gay or not were irrelevant in that regard. Glad to know it doesn't matter so much in today's entertainment world...
@paintedship Alot of guys cross dress who aren't gay. You don't have to conform to the standards of masculine behavior to be straight. It all comes down to what turns you on. Plus, who cares? Everyone did that in the 80s, gay or straight, not just these guys.
@MordaciousFilms so every guy in the 80s wore dresses? Yeah I think makeup, hair etc. are a bit different. Beggs didn't do it back then so it's just a bit weird now. i don't think it's too hard of a thing to find weird but whatever I never said it was a WRONG thing, big difference there. And again the "who cares" argument is just tired considering you guys who say that reply to months old comments.
I didn't know John Terry was a singer in a 80's band!
