This was apparently the other A side to 'So Macho', 'Cruising' is far superior imo and much less cheesy sounding. Should definitely have been the main one promoted and not So Macho from that double A side imo. Also in the Hi-NRG genre, this great tune, made #29 in 1986, but should have done better in the charts!

Messages is brilliant!
Here's an amazing indie tune I voted for in the Now That's What Buzzjack Calls Music 1-10. |

This may have been their biggest hit, but Kajagoogoo as a whole seem to have been forgotten now. |

Also a bit like Spandau's Chant no 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) in style. 'Too Shy' is defined as new wave by wikipedia but quite a few early 80s new wave songs do seem to have funk influences.

I recently discovered this fab #23 hit from 1982. Great dancey electronic bop which sounds amazing for its time.
'Today' (#14, 1982), another high energy tune from them is also very good. This post has been edited by Queef Of Peas: Jun 4 2018, 11:28 AM |

The genre basically covers everything post the Sex Pistols - think totp said that Boomtown Rats first single in 1977 was he first ever New Wave single playlisted by radio 1?! |

This was the Christmas no1 song in 1983, a cover of the YAzoo classic - I absolutely love it. Possibly one of the best songs of the decade (both versions)! |
