Time for a post about Hue and Cry (look away young people)

I have only just 'got' the "strike" "metaphor" running through "Labour of Love", wow that's awful, I bet they thought it was pretty subversive getting a song about STRIKING into the pop charts, those crazy socialists.

Also this man sings like a limp raw fish.

(Actually I secretly like it a bit. Never did a song need an extended 12" less tho.)

Share your Hue and Cry memories.

Cor, I'd never noticed that either. Clever wordplay there, Mr Kane.
