I think this is satire.

Actually, of those you mention, how underrated are The Cats! Big favourites of the 1974 Holland World Cup squad, who used to listen to their songs on the way to matches (seriously).

Godley & Creme's 'Wedding Bells' was one of those songs which was all over the radio at the start of the '80s. It's one of those songs I must admit to liking quite a lot. It's not one of my absolute favourites, but it's good.

Wedding Bells was good but not as good as Under Your Thumb or An Englishman in New York which I, bizarrely, remember seeing the video to on Saturday Superstore!

I had to look An Englishman in New York up because I don't remember it. Apparently it was 1979 so it must have been Swap Shop rather than Saturday Superstore.

I remember Wedding Bells and and Under Your Thumb though. Also Cry, which only made it to number 19, yet I have seen the video so many times then and since.

Godley and Creme also directed the infamous Girls on Film video for Duran Duran. The TV version is a censored edit. I was always disappointed by it because the lyrics are so evocative - "See them walking hand in hand across the bridge at midnight..." A wasted opportunity.

They also directed the videos for Two Tribes and The Power of Love for Frankie Goes To Hollywood, I remember an intereview many years later with Holly Johnson along the lines of "Godley and Creme came in with their noses in the air saying 'we're going to do this and we're going to do that' and the whole thing became a circus, and the music we were writing was forgotten about."
He was complaining that everything became 'let's look what the next Frankie video's going to be like' instead of 'let's hear what the new Frankie song is like', which is symptomatic of the 80s really. I remember he also dismissed the Power of Love video as a 'moving Christmas card' and that Christmas was not what the song was intended to be about at all - and yet it turns up on all the Christmas compilations.

They did Herbie Hancock's Rockit too which is not so bad:

Love the Walkers. Scott Walker has a magnificent voice. Along with Allan Clarke from the Hollies, Gene Pitney and Chris Farlowe, one of THE voices of the 1960s.
