Ha ha, absolutely right :)
Which demonstrates how popular their sound became in the eighties. The Fixx really had an influence on a number of bands.

This really sounds too much like Duran Duran and is unsettling my stomach.

Eh? I had this rated as a 2. . . and I just re-rated it as an 8.

Contrary? Me? Never. . .

If we can only surgically remove Danny Elfman from Tim Burton's ass then the world would be a better place

I thought it was Bryan Ferry at first and I nearly hit mute out of reflex, but I'm glad I hung on a couple of seconds. This isn't great, it's very much of its time and apolitical hedonistic genre (in which Duran Duran fits) but it's listenable and fun. 6 from the pleasantly surprised Nottingham jury.

Danny Elfman is really a talented and prolific artist. This was his stomping ground. Oingo Boingo was great and still to this day hold up well. His soundtracks and scores to movies are excellent too. Always had a great amount of respect for this under rated 80s band.

Oingo Boingo was a great band in the "Nothing To Fear" days.  Not so much by "Dead Man's Party".

Ok, let's try. How about this: if you'd been in a coma for 23 years and just woke up and had never heard this song, you'd be sure you were right at home in 1985.

Best I could do.

MTV just posted most of their video archive.  You can watch "Private Life" which I think was one of MTV's first videos.

The first few notes made me think of The Fixx...

Very Duran Duranish, it wouldn't have surprised me to hear Simon's voice singing
