did they have any jaunty tracks or was it all just slumberous (new word) ballads?

Slumberous yuppie ballad fite: Captain of Her Heart vs. Mmm mmm mmm mmm

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 12:51 (nineteen years ago) link

"Captain of Her Heart" was awesome! How dare you!

Ferlin Husky (noodle vague), Friday, 4 March 2005 12:53 (nineteen years ago) link

Awesome snoresome!

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 12:55 (nineteen years ago) link

It's even better if you mix it with "Captain of Your Ship" as featured in early 90s Muller Rice adverts.

Ferlin Husky (noodle vague), Friday, 4 March 2005 12:56 (nineteen years ago) link

Jesuschristgreatgodalmighty! 'Soul Train' video right here. Shame the sound is so rubbish, butwhatchagonnado?

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 13:07 (nineteen years ago) link

Man, all I need now is to hear 'Ask The Lord' and 'Ed's Funky Diner' and my head will explode.

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 13:10 (nineteen years ago) link

By jingo: 'No Memory' mp3 here!. I'm sorry, you'll have to shoot me to stop me.

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 13:16 (nineteen years ago) link

'Soul Train' extended mix-oroonie!. First 3:45 is pretty boring though. And I'm starting to think that this song actually sucks fairly hard on quite a sizeable doid, but it's kinda hard to tell what with the sugar rush an' all.

NickB (NickB), Friday, 4 March 2005 13:36 (nineteen years ago) link

If "Captain of Her Heart" and "Hands to Heaven" are sophistopop, then so are "Lady in Red," "Holding Back the Years," and "Wicked Game."

Sophistopop pwner: Robert Palmer.

'Breakout' was 1986 yo.

Alba's right (50% right).

Swing Out Sister, "Breakout"
UK #7 -- November 1986
US #6 -- November 1987

You slowcoaches.

Alba (Alba), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Halo James 'Could've Told You So'

Sven Bastard (blueski), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Not from '86, but there's something about Spandau's 'Lifeline' that I can't ignore.

BARMS, Friday, 4 March 2005 15:27 (nineteen years ago) link

There's a few songs from the first Cornelius album that the Swingers could've performed.

BARMS, Friday, 4 March 2005 15:28 (nineteen years ago) link

This is quickly becoming one of the greatest threads ever.

The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:31 (nineteen years ago) link

OTM Dan.

Speaking of Spandau, how's that "rock" album they released in '86?

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Friday, 4 March 2005 15:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Dunno. Think Ned was alive then, maybe he could help?

BARMS, Friday, 4 March 2005 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

I prefer "Only When You Leave," especially the crowdpleasing version they performed at Live Aid ("Come on, clap along!").

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Friday, 4 March 2005 18:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Come on, what about "Gold"?

My love is like a high prison wall! And you could leave me standing so tall!

ffirehorse, Friday, 4 March 2005 20:29 (nineteen years ago) link

My buddy and I were singing "Gold" at the Nashville airport a few months ago; apparently it's in "Grand Theft Auto.

Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Friday, 4 March 2005 20:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Gaaah! How could I have left "This Much Is True" out of my sophistopop list?!?!?! THe brain, she is going fast.

The Mad Puffin (The Mad Puffin), Friday, 4 March 2005 21:00 (nineteen years ago) link

Cuz we're talking about Swing Out Sister!

I love this song.

bursting with joy?

Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 13:42 (eighteen years ago) link

First of all, CLASSIC.

Wait.

UBER CLASSIC.

Second of all, ts: "breakout" vs. basia's "new day for you" is a serious debate for me!

Thirdly, my ctrl-f mixed with my over excitement caused me not to find any mention in this thread of the fact that Swing Out Sister is made up of Andy Connell and Martin Jackson who were once part of the A Certain Ratio AND Magazine!

PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 19:52 (eighteen years ago) link

-- Alfred Soto (sotoal...), July 20th, 2005. (later)

I sampled Bros ages ago in one of my house tunes!

Something about this song irked me when it came out. For a while it was everywhere, all the time, in Paris but unlike so many songs where that just makes you grit your teeth and swear eternal enmity, in this case it broke down my resistance with its frank cheerfulness.

There's nothing better than looking at a revived thread with bemusement and then seeing that you made the 2nd post.

Go year-ago me.

Justin Shumaker (shueytexas), Thursday, 25 May 2006 02:48 (seventeen years ago) link

i found their first two albums ('It's better To Travel' and 'Kaleidescope World') in dollar bins and they are both lovely!

derrick (derrick), Thursday, 25 May 2006 03:47 (seventeen years ago) link

THIS SONG IS A GOLDEN CLASSIC

Chris Bee (Cee Bee), Thursday, 25 May 2006 04:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Classic - on TOTP singing into a broom handle, and that kind of vogue/hand dancing Corinne used to do.

JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Thursday, 25 May 2006 07:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Classic. The chorus locks in my head pretty frequently, even if I haven't heard it for ages.

Is this danceable? Wedding friendly??? I can't rememeber anything but the vocals, horns and cooing in the chorus...

ZOT! (davidcorp), Thursday, 25 May 2006 08:47 (seventeen years ago) link

one month passes...
This song is so joyous. The video is great fun, in a slightly dated way. There was a brief period of time when, thanks to VH1, I experienced burnout of both the song and the video, but now thanks to the benefits of the distancing of time, I can re-appreciate them.

Looking back at Alfred's posts, if someone were to release a "sophisti-pop of the '80s" compilation, I would definitely snap it up. That was some incredibly great music. Robert Palmer was great (at Bryan Ferry levels) when he too was doing "sophisti-pop", but floundered miserably when he attempted to rock out IMO. Speaking of Ferry, he too must be represented in any decent "sophisti-pop" compilation.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Friday, 21 July 2006 02:21 (seventeen years ago) link

SURRENDER was the best track from their peak period.

and *god* they were both top 10 who'd have thought?

4 Swing Out Sister Breakout Oct 1986
7 Swing Out Sister Surrender Jan 1987

(dashes off to download SURRENDER)

pisces (piscesx), Friday, 21 July 2006 07:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Forgotten? No way. If I ever I feel down, I just have to start singing this and I feel great. I absolutely adored that single and she looked so beautiful with that haircut!

Swing Out Sister
Basia
Dr. Buzzard

The happy-go-lucky vocal holy trinity.

VH-1 really did play this one ad nauseum, eh?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn (Alfred Soto), Saturday, 22 July 2006 18:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess I was lucky that VH1 was not part of our standard cable package just yet when this was released

Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Saturday, 22 July 2006 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

VH-1 really did play this one ad nauseum, eh?

That's an understatement, for sure.

I guess I was lucky that VH1 was not part of our standard cable package just yet when this was released

Oh! I wasn't even watching VH1 when this song was first released! I was going by my recollections of what they were playing throughout the early - mid 1990s, back when they had a seemingly limited selection of '80s videos they would play the life out of.

Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Sunday, 23 July 2006 03:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I liked "Breakout", hated the followup.

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Sunday, 23 July 2006 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

the second album, 'Kaleidoscope World', really is fantastic.

derrick (derrick), Sunday, 23 July 2006 21:21 (seventeen years ago) link

we were at the ice cream store yesterday and this came on, I embarrassed my wife by goofily dancing to it but my daughter was like "who is this? it's awesome"
