Not sure why but when I think Nick Heyward I also think Roddy Frame.

I recently auditioned for a cheesy 80s band and had to learn a few numbers for that. Quite good fun, shame they weren't up to the mark, really. That is another whole thread in itself - why are people so delusional about their abilities? I blame the X Factor - everyone thinks they can be a star. I have been to loads of auditions lately - they all failed!

One we did that is *so* cheesy was 'Self Control' by Laura Branigan. Not a lot of bass playing in it but it jogs along nicely. Also 'Died In Your Arms Tonight' Cutting crew, 'Don't Stop Believing' Journey, 'Alone' Heart, 'Shoot That Poison Arrow' ABC. Some not so cheesy - 'Maneater' Hall & Oates, 'I Surrender' Rainbow.

Can't get worse than Glenn Maderios "Nothing is gonna change my love for you"

I'd say you need Wham "wake me up before you go go", Duran Duran "rio", Mel and Kim "respectable", maybe "Hand on your heart" by Kylie?

some very 80's erm, fashion statements and slapping on the bed chorus...

I remember watching this on t.v the night it was first broadcast when I was in my teens and it fueling my desire to be a ponce with fancy hairstyle that played the bass guitar for a living . Ambition achieved !

[Dingus]

Anything - and I really mean [i]anything[/i] - that has the marque of Stock , Aitken and Waterman on it . Your absolute 100 % guarantee of complete crap .
