Liked "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm", bought the album, didn't like it much.

Did they do /anything/ other than the Friends theme?

And does anyone still remember who sang "Breakfast At Tiffany's"?  Into
the "Where Are They Now?" file, so young!

Bucks Fizz were pretty good, but I never much cared for Shakie.  Which is
strange, cause I think Jimmy Ray's two singles are pretty damn fine.

Erm.. pop foibles from my past:  first single bought: Tanita Tikaram's
"Good Tradition".  first CD bought: "Jive Bunny: The Album" (I wanted to
buy Sgt.Pepper, but the Asda hypermarket had sold out, so I bought Jive
Bunny instead).  And my first real fandom was (as already revealed on the
list) Betty Boo, who I still love to pieces.  Alison Clarkson was her real
name, IIRC.

Favourite single of all time (at the moment): Deeeeeeeeelite - Groove is
in the heart which is just *FANTASTIC* and I always request when I'm at a
club.  That and Jive Bunny.

What's he up to these days?  Last I heard, he OD'd on heroine at The Viper
Rooms, just like Johnny Depp.

Shame, cause Ten Good Reasons was an alright album (except there were
eleven tracks on it)

Rod.
