      I know, Pet Shop Boys were one of my favorite groups back in the 80’s. First came West End Girls, then Suburbia. Later in 1988 I remembered Domino Dancing, then my all-time favorite, Heart.
      I hope that they will make concerts again. I would love to hear them again.

      I used to hear this "80's dance crap" stuff in the clubs the GF's used to insist we visit. Being a "metal guy" hated it at the time but certainly enjoying it 35 years later. Some of this stuff turn out to be pretty timeless.

      @@yankeedave - Class of '86 here too! The best decade for movies, music, and TV shows (well tied for the 70s since I'm old enough to appreciate the entertainment of that decade too). Today is all unoriginal mindless mush in all three. Or at best retreads. I remember when Elton John was asked on a late night talk show in the late 1990s by one of the big three late night hosts I can't remember which - he was asked when he wrote the song theme for the 1994 movie Lion King what he thought about the music of that 90s decade's music. He essentially said people had run out of original writing talent. He was so right over 20 years ago. Notice the increase in popularity of company marketing teams using classic songs in their ads - specifically around the Big 80s! Nobody can write melodies anymore. Elton saw it coming too. We now have an entire generation who grew up with simpleton thinking computers doing their "music" for them and they couldn't write a melody on sheet paper if their lives depended on it. Hell most probably couldn't even read a basic piano lesson sheet and play it.

    I grew up a child of the 60s, a teen in the 70s, and came of age in the 80s. I look back at each of those decades and I’m very happy to have been a part of each. Each decade had unique and distinct music that I absolutely bonded with. This song is full of everything that was the 80s. I became a guy in the 90s, a man in the 2000s, and now I’m just an old guy with lots of great memories. One of the things about music, is they are tied to certain memories, and that’s just fantastic. I get a kick out of hearing a song and a certain someone, something, or whatever comes to mind.

      @@user-in1gv3zo3s- All true, but time slowly eroded many things. Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder who that guy is looking back at me. It’s a stark reminder of Father Time doing his thing. I don’t know when it all happened, but here we are. Like the minute had of a clock, you don’t see it moving but it does. I don’t do anything the same in my 60s as I did even in my 50s, let alone 20s and 30s, and that’s ok. It’s just how it is and I’m at peace with it. I still do things, even purchased my first motorcycle and licensed at the age of 61, and I’m loving it. It’s definitely on the dangerous side, and I am very cautious when I ride, but I don’t think I would have felt the same about riding and my abilities when younger. I would not have any fear and would have had 100% confidence in myself. I would have taken to it like the wind. It’s not like that for me today.

I was still in kindergarten, couldn’t understand or speak English at the time, but they were basically everywhere. “West End Girls“ was a gigantic breakthrough hit, then iconic songs like this one and “Suburbia“ (which charted much higher here in Germany than in the UK) followed.
    The rest is history. I absolutely love them.
