My Mann James sent me a Soft Cell Best-Of CD off my Amazon.com wish list a couple of years ago. Although, he assured me, normally it would be against his principles to further the spread of Soft Cell in any way.
I felt like such a failure as an "eighties man" without at least one of their CDs in my collection. But I had also always felt as though I should like Soft Cell more than I did...and then I did a complete 180. I fucking love the album.
One of the reasons is because Marc Almond actually sang. And rarely more brilliantly than in this song.
There is a man in my soul, and he's not buried all that terribly deep, that sometimes wants to act exactly like Almond does in this video.
Oh, you're not theatrical at all, are you? (can I get a mop for my dripping sarcasm?) :)
ReplyDeleteWhy do you imply that this is something I ever said I wasn't?
