Teenage Kicks

[pickrollflickgoal]

My teenage years started with Frankie Goes To Hollywood and ended with The Happy Mondays and The Charlatans, with a bit of Curiosity Killed The Cat and Erasure sandwiched inbetween. What a time to be alive!

A bit of Twisted Sister for me

For one song that epitomises the carefree teenage days I’d go for The First Picture Of You by the Lotus Eaters in the summer of 83. I was 17, had my first girlfriend, it was a great summer and life was a breeze.

‘Music’ was one of the first singles I ever bought. Got to admit I can’t remember any other song of his.

Can’t say it’s ringing anymore than a very, very distant bell Jacko. I probably thought it was Pilot at the time. It’s quite pleasantly catchy though.

Edit : Might be mistaken, but on listening again, it seems to have influenced both ‘s-s-s-single bed’ by Fox and David Essex’s ‘Brave New World’ from the War of the Worlds album. Fox were utter shite, but I did like ‘Brave New World’ back in the day.

Noosha Fox seemed to be a bit yampy

Give me a clue mate. I think ‘yampy’ must be a Brummie or Black Country word.

Edit : No need. I’ve looked it up. Seemed a bit spaced out to me - I’m on Top of the Pops and I don’t really give a shit.

The John Miles Highfly has been known to be confused with a Jigsaw one hit wonder called Sky High
