The Greatest Song In The World Is In The Music Round Tonight

After last night’s excrement of tediosity, we have real art in the Safari music round tonight. See vid below. Art.

Anyway: quizzes tonight:

7pm Brass Monkey Leith. Jackpot £50. Cheat: One of the answers is Gordon.

9pm Safari Lounge. Jackpot £30. Cheat: One of the music round answers is Limahl, performing the greatest song ever written. See the vid:

Every single woman in Britain fancied Limahl in 1984. It’s just the way it was back them. There were fewer options.

Women had seen Harrison Ford but they knew he lived in America. Limahl represented hope, something achievable.

Limahl’s real name was Christopher Hamill but he was a clever wee cunt and anagramised his last name, dropping the first to create Limahl, a name heavy with mystique and sex.

He joined Kajagoogoo. They had a hit. I have a specific memory of watching Hearts v East Fife at Tynecastle in the Scottish Cup with the Kajagoogoo hit playing at half-time. It was midwinter, absolutely freezing and I had a heavy cold. I wasn’t a fan of either team.

The only warm thing I can remember from that day was Kajagoogoo and therefore Limahl and his name like a balm.

Thank you, Limahl. Thank you, Christopher.
