silicon teens "memphis tenessee"

^^^ all time

picked this up at a flea market in france last week:
http://musiconvinyl.blogspot.com/2009/07/voyage-voyage-desireless.html

supposedly the a-side was a massive hit in europe but i've never heard of it, and to be honest, it doesn't do much for me. the instrumental b-side 'Destin Fragile' has the grandiose corniness down pat though.

this was the biggest song in the 80s in France

i'd never heard of it, but then i grew up in rural Alberta. i dig the b-side anyway.

massive summer holiday hit in the uk.

Huge hit in Québec too. Was actually a hit again here a couple of years ago when it was covered by Kate Ryan (Belgian girl who does trance-pop covers of French 80's hits).

loving this too:
