Saw him at The Venue at Victoria station back in the early 80's just before the Flag album was released. What a mad night that was!!!! Also saw Depeche mode there just after they had a number one hit with New life. I feel very lucky to be able to have been at the start of all the synth music. Still play it all to this day!

I remember all those years back , me and my friend were into fad gadget , we used to take this single to discos and get the djs to play it , not many people knew of him back then .
Scratched his head, then pulled his ear Reached out for a glass of beer Ricky's hand Ricky's hand From the pocket it pulled five pound Ricky bought another round Ricky's hand Ricky's hand In the dark it found his zip Wiped his mouth when he was sick Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Six pints later he waved goodbye Picked his nose and squashed a fly Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Slamming the door it grasped the wheel Now Ricky's full of man appeal Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Ricky contravened the highway code The hand lies severed at the side of the road Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Ricky's hand Ricky's hand
You can put this into a ~2010-2020 alternative electronic playlist and nobody would even notice! This is timeless!

Scratched his head, then pulled his ear
Reached out for a glass of beer
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
From the pocket it pulled five pound
Ricky bought another round
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
In the dark it found his zip
Wiped his mouth when he was sick
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Six pints later he waved goodbye
Picked his nose and squashed a fly
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Slamming the door it grasped the wheel
Now Ricky's full of man appeal
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Ricky contravened the highway code
The hand lies severed at the side of the road
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand
Ricky's hand

That sounds good

love the original. Love this one. Cause the person who made this one loves the original song. Mathematics of love.
All fads original stuff has been pulled by his wife on the net. All we have is live versions of the original songs now. Sad but true.
.
The 'original version'..

I would hate to contradict Mrs. Tovey's wishes, but I sure gave Frank a lot of royalties over the years!
So these versions are kind of remixes?
that bitch
Thanks for the info. I won't bother looking for any Fad vids any more.
that sounds good.
This is not the original 7 inch version. Still good though.
