@ZLUGGO You need to get your head out of your backside and see Associates for the brilliant band they were. Pristine post punk pop all wrapped around Billy MacKenzie's swooping vocal style that was unique. Their hits on Warners in 1982 were a joy to behold andf Billy never looked sexier than on this TOTP from May / June 1982.

Phew, Martha Ladley is lovely eh? x

@ZLUGGO name a good swedish band then,dickhead.

I think this clip is about as good a summation of the 1980s as anything I've ever seen. [In every respect!]

Perhaps the finest single of 1982 - itself no mean feat. That it's a "catchy pop tune" about a mental instiitution only adds to the genius. And then we have this spectacle, perhaps the finest TOTP performance of the whole early 80s "Michael Hurll revival, Party atmosphere" with Billy & co clearly having a ball in this "family" early evening slot. That the two songs on that weeks show were almost as subversive and that Jimmy Savile was the host (as per the last 20 years) make matters even better!

@Sluggo - you must take your ear away from your arse. Your posture is having a marked effect on your musical enjoyment ;)

Almost as boring as Orange Juice (the band).

@ZLUGGO
If you SERIOUSLY think that The Associates and Orange Juice (the band) are "boring", then you need help. Urgently. No, on second thoughts, you're probably beyond help.

@sgtrayelwood
Who gave you the right to judge me?
How about this one then: I HATE those bands.
And if you think that someone gave you the right to DICTATE, then YOU are the one in need of help.

Christ on a bike. Get yourself a sense of humour transplant. It was a j-o-k-e. Tongue in cheek. Not serious. Etc. etc. Much as I pity anybody who doesn't worship the wondrous Mr. Mackenzie with as much fervour as I do, I nonetheless respect their right to their differing tastes.
(That was also tongue in cheek, if it weren't obvious enough.)

Well, I am NOT amused.

@ZLUGGO Jeez, are all Swedes snotty, humourless twats, or is it just you? (Apologies to any other Swedes out there: I'm sure that it isn't really the case.)
Now, why don't you try doing the logical thing, and go watch some YT videos of bands that you actually like, as opposed to "HATE". Or maybe you actually enjoy shit stirring. Now run along, there's a good boy.
