Wouldn't be downvoting The Damned but the Captain Sensible record is rubbish.


Rogers & Hammerstein will be happy to learn of your opinion ya tin-eared twat.

The song itself is tolerable, especially if you like Rodgers and Hammerstein (which I don't particularly)

But, whatever his other talents, Captain Sensible can't sing. It's an unfunny novelty record, harmless enough but undeserving of survival in this company.

Limahl was one of the iconic early 80s singers (and haircuts) like Nik Kershaw and Nick Heyward. Although Kajagoogoo (too shy) was a one-hit wonder, he had his own hit "Never ending Story" which was recently featured on Stranger Things. So he became a one-hit wonder twice.

Happy to help send Happy Talk on its way, as it’s fucking atrocious. Much like the film of South Pacific.
