Meanwhile, anyone keen to sound the clanging chimes of doom for pop music – or at the very least, looking for evidence of its waning grip on teenagers’ imaginations – might note that three of the vocalists aren’t actually musicians. They are “internet personalities” Zoe “Zoella” Sugg, her brother Joe “Thatcherjoe” Sugg and Alfie Deyes, the last justly famous as joint holder of the world record for the most number of bangles put on by two people in 30 seconds.

“I think it's smug of Lily Allen to say it's smug.

“And who gives a f--- what Damon f------ Albarn thinks?”

She added frankly: "Excuse my honesty, I'm too old for bull----."

Okay, this song was actually 1983....still one of the finest parodies one is likely to see:
♫♪♫ And they shouldn't fence at night, / Or they're going to hurt the gymnasts ♫♪♫Omg, two hours later I emerge from *that* rabbit hole, with my sides aching! The safety dance one was brilliant, as was Bonnie Tyler. Absolutely hysterical. "Metaphor?" - I was rolling about after that one.
https://www.google.com/#q=where+are+they+now+paul+young^ YES, ahahaha, several of my household cracked up over that line. It must be like shooting fish in a barrel, though - those 80's music vids were something else.... I hope there's a Duran Duran one somewhere. Or omg, the Cure!
To sort of meander all this slightly back toward the topic -- I had utterly forgotten how much I used to adore Paul Young. Where'd he get to? Haven't heard anything of him for years...
God struck him down for his completely unnoteworthy cover of Joy Division's great "Love Will Tear Us Apart."Awh.... he always struck me as a nice guy. Hard to believe he went broke, his songs were massive hits.

Tons of covers of that song, some quite good -- Swans, June Tabor, Magical Orchestra & Susanna, etc. etc.You're terrible, Muriel.
but yes it was tantamount to blasphemy wasn't it
Is it sad I knew it was the Safety Dance by the screenshot alone?I was just about to post that until I scrolled down and saw you already had!
What? 1984? I wasn't 12, I was 14! And it's scary that there were only a few songs on that Billboard 100 chart that I couldn't recall. Wow.MTV 1984....yikes. "Do They Know...." shared the airwaves with some memorable tunes:
