We are really going back in time here… 1982. My pre-teen days, gulp. But I still like to think that I knew a good song (or a bad song) when I heard one. Bucks Fizz, remember them, had won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1981 and they were astride the UK singles chart for a couple of years after. This year, they had two number 1 UK singles.

Alongside the kitsch of Bucks Fizz, we had the European electro-pop of Kraftwerk with The Model. We also had the 80’s original angry young men, The Jam, scoring two number 1 records. There was also Captain Sensible’s piece of irreverent nonsense with Happy Talk from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific. Does the Captain say the C word? In my youthful innocence (is that the word?) I certainly thought that he did, but surely Mike Read would have spotted it it if he had?
