After hearing the icon that is Patsy Kensit was the front woman of an 80s pop band, I just had to download something and I stumbled across the camp pop masterpiece that is 'Cross My Heart'. :wub:

 

Here are two of their bigger singles:

Brings back happy memories. Much prefer 'I'm Not Scared'

This is the first time I've seen either video.

'I'm Not Scared' was a piece of pop genius - lovely to see English bull terriers in the video, too, which, I reckon, still stands as a damn good pop video.

 

I reckon a 2006 remix of I'm Not Scared should be done.

 

Think they had an album out, too.... I have all the singles.

i liked 'im not scared'... a pet shop boys track of course, patsy kensit was pretty hot in the 80's, but now.... uuurrgh.

She looks amazing! I even sometimes watch Emmerdale just for her. :P

 

I thought 'I'm Not Scared' had a very Pet Shop Boys-esque sound to it, I guess that explains why. 'Corss My Heart' is very 80s Kylie-esque, so maybe that's why I like it so much. :lol:

yes, 'I'm not scared', written, produced and backing vocals courtesy of Pet Shop Boys.

 

With the amount of great pop the Pet Shops have been responsible for - their own, as well as for Liza Minelli, Robbie Williams, Dusty Springfield, Cicero, 8th Wonder.... where on earth are the Brits in giving them some sort of Lifetime Achievement award? I can think of only 2 other UK bands who have had such consistent success for over 20 years (Depeche Mode and U2).... so why is it the Brits seem to always ignore both Pet Shop Boys and, even moreso, Depeche Mode?

I've been a Pet Shop Boys fan for a while and they don't seem to get anywhere near enough recognition as they should these days. I've recently started to get into Depeche Mode aswell and the scenario is the same. :(

Yeah, I liked I'm Not Scared at the time.

I'm Not Scared is a pop classic! Awesome song.

 

I have the Eighth Wonder album on cassette, pretty good if you're into pop stuff.
