Anyone remember Kon Kan and their hit 'I Beg Your Pardon' ?

It's a bit cheesy but I like it, especially for the verses that could have been sang by the great Barney himself.

This was an excellent song, I think it came out about the same time as True Faith, and I know a couple of non New Orderites who thought it was Barney & Co.

One of mates bought the album on the strength of this song but it turned out to be absolutely dire.

They were Canadian wern't they?

  • good old Kan Kan.

Kan Kan's 12 inch Changing trains is quite a goodie - a strange quite memorable tune a bit surreal arrangement, maybe a bit similiar to Tuxedoo Moon.

Jesus Jumping Christ...that's one of those songs I forget about until I hear it at one of the "retro" nights at the clubs here...I've always thought it was a good song, but I never thought it was by the order...

Yeah, I remember this jem, loved it! (still do). Definitely a New Order sound to it. Glad to see that it had recognition outside of Canada!
