Quote from: AustinPowers on May 08, 2025, 11:26:12 AMDid the Sultans of Ping  have any other hits other than Wheres Me Jumper?

That one just  came to me. Would definitely be in my top three

I can recall 2 other songs (not sure if they were'hits':  Veronica & Give him a ball & a yard of grass.  The latter was inspired by the late great Brian Clough.

AustinPowers

OK, my final three

Charles and Eddie - Would I lie to you
Chesney Hawkes - The one  and only
Sultans of Ping FC -  Where's me jumper?

Honourable mention  for Jermaine Stewart's  'We don't have to take our clothes off'.  One of those songs that  just summed up  the sound of the 80's.

Check out The La's album, Timeless Melody is even better song than There She Goes, which is a bone fide classic. One of the great lost bands, but that's what happens when you have a genius in charge who is a perfectionist (with a heroin habit).

Didn't your man from the La's re-record  There She Goes, when the other  lads  had went off on their lunch break or something?

Apparently the  lads were fuming , but I think his version is the  one released

Feeling we are the same age, roughly. Hunting High and Low was one of my favourite cassettes as a kid. Would buy meters of leather in White's in Omagh to get the leather bracelet look going.
