Hi, this one is probably quite obvious but whatever brain cells it was once written on have atrophied. . . So today I was in J.Crew [:I] and they were playing Heaven 17's "Penthouse and Pavement" and Squeeze's "Tempted" because they're all retro and cool, etc.

And that reminded me of a song that I think might have been by Heaven 17 or similar white-boy funk. Starts out with female back-up singers a capella "Is this . . . . looove," which is then repeated before the male vocal starts.

Did a title check on AMG but found only Bob Marley and Whitesnake.[:D]

That song is
"Is It Love" by Gang of Four which is on the album "Hard"

Hah, there was a whole thread about this much-derided video. Well, it was much-derided by me anyway, and I was consequently told that I was likely on the wrong board if I felt that way... [:I]

Thanks . . . I think the fact that I thought it was Heaven 17 sorta proves Blir's point! [:D]

I like the video, I think it's hilarious!

I especially love the dancing bellhops.
