Haha I was hoping you would like it! I was surprised how similar he sounded to the real thing!! :tongue: There is one of Marti Pellow (that isn't on YouTube) and my physics teacher get annoyed when I said he looked like the guy who was pretending to be him!!

Oh my word.... I will pay you £50 to do that!! (honest) But which song?!?!?! (the wacky/cool hair is compulsory)


Yeah, I agree! :tongue: I don't even know who Marti Pellow is... :tongue: I've never actually heard of him :tongue: Hahaha :lol:

:rofl: I require more than £50 for a task of such epic proportions :lol: Cool hair, overcoat, rhythm guitar that I can't even play :rofl: Hmmm, The Killing Moon! :tongue: (or maybe Rescue, The Cutter or Villiers Terrace :tongue: As if my vocal chords could get high enough for The Cutter :rofl:).

Hello! :smile: They are kind of cheesy (but I actually like them regardless!) I know what you mean, I love 80s music and when I request Wham everyone just groans at me :lol:


Ahahaha!!! :laugh: They're quite catchy aren't they? I think the 80's did a great deal for music. You've actually got me listening to an 80's playlist now :laugh: :banana:

A bit of Duran Duran whilst doing work! :headbang:

I haven't heard it in years before this evening! Whenever I used to listen to it, I would always think of Shrek.... :laugh: :laugh:

I think my favourite disco classic would be 'Build me up' by the Foundations - but it's certainly older than the 80's!

Hahaha I thought not :lol: They're okay (VERY CHEESY) And I think their most famous one is 'Love is all Around'

I haven't yet actually - I have downloaded a tab for it to have a look at at some point! :biggrin: (and please do! I can send you a scan of the page in the book :tongue: )
Oh my God.... I should have seen that coming :rofl:

Ah it's incredibly hard NOT to think of Bowie for Fashion or... just about everything else! :rock:

Just about everything! :biggrin: It's quite good, there are a variety of playlists on Youtube though - you can just scroll through it :smile:

Oh gosh yes! That was playing in the background, I got intrigued :rofl2:

I can't believe it! I've actually heard that one before, I had no idea I had!

Not gonna lie, the tune reminds me of the War of the Worlds :laugh:

Haha ikr - too true!! :lol:
Awesome!! Ooo okay I shall be sure to check them out! (I follow some on Spotify but sometimes it is nice to see the videos too!)
Hahaha :rofl:
Have you? I think it was their first 'released' song.... such a good tune :tongue:
Now you have mentioned it - I actually agree :lol:

It's just sad that he's gone :rip:
Ooohhh yes do! They're mostly relaxing, apart from the upbeat ones of course! :biggrin:
It is, you can really tell how much both music AND technology has changed, just look at the special effects in videos made nowadays compared to back then!
I need to go back further, I think I started at The Beatles and Queen and then just worked my way up to the 80's.
Ah yes, It isn't just me then! :laugh:
