Between Planets - Jesus & Mary Chain

Scottish psycho-gummers rhyme 'lips' with 'hips' and let slip a singalong Bay City influence. Despite the feedback, they always knew you had to 'dance to the music, make romance to the music'.

Between Planets also rhymes 'baby' with 'crazy', a coupling that is to the world of pure pop what 'delicious' and 'nutritious' is to the healthy snack foods sector.

...like Nutra-grain Apple or a Tracker bar

My Dad enters every competition on the back of every cornflake packet and spaghetti hoops tin. In the slogan tiebreaker he always uses the same slogan: 'The price is right for a tasty bite'. He's never won anything, but has passed on to me this 'lazy yet industrious' streak.

They're full of fat apparently. Tracker bars.

Looky Looky - Giorgio Moroder

An early, pre-I Feel Love cut from Italian hi-NRG composer cuts up The Rivingtons' Papa Oom Mow Mow and sets it to the Ohio Express' Yummy Yummy.

As well as contributing music to Flashdance, Superman III and the Neverending Story and producing many top recording artists (usually on their lame, synth-heavy, funk rock solo recordings), Giorgio Moroder is also an accomplished multimedia artist, architect and in the mid eighties, he and sports car specialist Claudio Zampolli designed a prestige sports car, the Cizeta-Moroder V16T.

The car was shown at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1988, along with Bonnie Tyler's Lancia T300 and the Maserati v12, designed by Pat Benatar and the Human League.

Is every pop star from the eighties an 'accomplished multimedia artist'?

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

Accomplished multimedia
