Surely you taketh the pith.

Well my memory of the 1980s is a bit hazy and I'll never get into the attic to get the mag out. I suspect they were joking when they said it, but I do recall it being said. And I do have an mp3 of Barney's "99 Red Balloons..." remark so it's possible.

I've just remembered another bit of the interview. They said the reason they could not do '99 Luftballons' was because it had too many of the black keys on the keyboards in it and they never had figured out how to play the black keys. I thought that sounded bollocks but then I was watching the video for 'The Perfect Kiss' and if you look Gillian and Steve don't touch any black keys in the shots of them playing. I imagine they've figured it out now... but then...

Sorry I really want to get back to Kylie. I have to say I have seen Dannii in concert (got an autographed picture...!) as well as Kylie. Can't quite make up my mind. I guess I'll have them both please.

I wonder what the scale of the royalties is for using BM on that song then?? Kylie actually sings the line "how does it feel" twice at the end so using the lyrics must bump it up even more for NO surely??

Part pisstake part truth. Yes, they did only use white keys in many songs up till 86 as they wrote songs in the same key largely, which didn't necessarily need to use the black keys. They were never ever ever going to cover 99Luftballoons though ! Paradoxically, many Smiths bass lines only use the black keys !

Was out last night, got the missus to tape Kylie at the Brits, that bit she managed o.k. only she taped it over Reading '98. A Kylie retrospective on about 11.30 had a pretty good track she'd done with D.J Towa Tei from Dee-Lite called German Bold Italic it had a good video as well. That's my recomendatoin of the day.

I've seen that - its mental. Doesn't she bob about the place saying something bizarre like 'I am bold italic'?? Myself, I prefer Kylie when she's pure pop. :)

Originally posted by Grigori Rasputin, the mad mystic of Petrograd Well...thank goodness...I was pretty sure that I would be boiled in hot oil and stand alone for saying that I thought this one was alright...and no, I have not seen the video for this song yet...I hear it gets played quite often on VH1 though...may just have to watch that for a bit!!!!

I was under the impression VH1 played nothing but Behind the Music 24 hours a day.

"My Name is German Bold Italoic,I am a type face,which you have never seen before, which you have never heard before""Hello" "You will like my sense of style"

Just got a couple of versions of Galaxians, it's better than I remembered, I now want this track a lot.

Well, what the bobbins is that all about then? I prefer 'Shocked' myself ;)

30-something i guess. Just listened to it...it's even better then i thought!!I knew it, my kind of girl she is:D

Liked it as well. Gotta say that since I don't hear Kylie on the radio all the time over here, she doesn't bother me as she might if I lived over there.

Liked her duet with Mr. Cave, but who knows if this is another step in a series of many in an effort to shed her teenybopper past? Can't even imagine what that would even be at this point though.

Kylie Kylie Kylie Kylie Kylie

You're so right Mr Green, her duet with Nick Cave is beautiful. Nice clip too. So, what's the chances of Kylie taking over Gillian's place?:D

You're sick, Mario! You need help..... :D

Being one of the few females on this board I feel I should give my opinion on the song, her, etc... (man I wish Liv was here!)

I had never heard of Kylie until this whole Brit awards/BM thing happened. Actually I didn't know what this thread was all about until I read my massive e-mails from the Ceremony list where there was much "classic" arguing (thanks guys!!)

I have heard the song (possibly in the club) but didn't care for it much. It is just another one of those bubble gum pop songs that you just dance too because he has a danceable beat. I had to admit you can't get the song out of your head!! (perfect damn title!)

I heard the version she sang live and I agree with Antoine that it is not a cover song but just a hint of BM in it. It can also seem like a teaser to NO fans because she is singing her song over it. She did do a wonderful job incorporating them.

Now for the reason she used it, I haven't heard. My 2 ideas are #1 She used it because she has respect for NewOrder and a classic song of theirs. Or #2 She knows people will go wild over this classic and it will help her sell more records! Honestly, I think it may be more for #2, but that is just my opinion!!

I saw the live version from some site and she really excited the audience, hey if you got it flaunt it! (I am not going to go bashing her because I am not jealous!) VERY cute dress, and the whole performance was ok. She can't dance too well, not very good choreography (Only because I was a dancer days ago.)

So overall I don't think this has made me a fan of hers or less of a NO fan, come on they are 40-something year old guys, of course they would let someone use their song if she looked like that!

Cheers NewOrder for surviving all these years!!

You haven't seen the video on MTV2?

Don't feel bad Jeffy, I haven't seen it either. I had heard the song but didn't know (or care) who sang it!

I reckon it is bloody good & when it is released on the B-side of her next single i'll be having it.!
