I never liked the song, but for some reason I downloaded it. Guilty pleasure, I guess.
When “Blue” was popular, I saw a comic strip in the student newspaper of the college I was attending at the time. In the comic strip, somebody is sick of hearing the damn song on the radio all the time. He decides to invent a time machine, so he can go back in time and kill Marconi, the inventor of radio, just so he won’t need to hear the song ever again!
I just had a flick through a few of those videos; surprised to find that A-ha were a one-hit-wonder. I know Madness are thought of as such over the pond - despite being one of the biggest singles acts of the 80s on their home turf - but I didn’t know about A-ha.
