Why Stand and Deliver is a proper job No 1 (unlike West End Girls) on 11:11 - Jun 14 by factual_blue
West End Girls is much more of a number two.
To be honest, 'West End Girls' is a decent song with genuine emotional shifts as you listen. I just do these polls to give footers an opportunity to use up his down votes so that he runs out of them during his next spat with lowhouse.
Coming soon - The 'Why The Birdy Song is intellectually more challenging than West End Girls' poll
And, does anyone know what lowhouse's favourite number one is?

Lowie was once a dyed-in-the-wool Simply Red man but now he's Blue all the way for his number 1...

Thanks for posting that, never seen it before. I think it goes to show that a successful pastiche has to have a well made original to predate upon.
I got inspired (OK, that's a bit grandiose for coming up with a stupid idea) for this poll when I listened to Martin Lewis's Desert Island Discs and realised what a little epic of things additional to the real music the song was. Then I listened to 'Brickfield Nights' by The Boys when Godzilla posted it earlier on one of ericclacton's threads. Which lead to a Wikipedia wander through the labyrinthine connections of proto-punk and the dog days of mid-seventies Britain. Hence my oldie remembrance of things like Derek Jarman's film 'Jubilee' which had a role for Adam Ant (and Gene October of Chelsea as well as Toyah) and a reappraisal of the age of three chords and the truth as something a bit more complex.

Ahem, Boom Bang A Bang only got to number two. Lulu did eventually hit top spot but only in the company of five young men with Relight My Fire...
That list was purposely constructed as No1's only, in order to exclude Barbie Girl and Boom Bang a Bang as the author couldn't stand for them to be equal first place. It only demonstrates how analy-retentive the author was.
Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

If you liked that it would blow your mind to see what they did to a Take That classic.

You are assuming I have an great familiarity with the work of Take That. Although I suspect they may have more originality about them than The Pet Shop Boys...
It really is a chirpy upbeat tune, even when they are putting the noose round Ant's neck to hang him it feels so upbeat. On that matter what musician hoping to have success in the singles charts would feature a hanging in the video for it these days.
