Was looking at Youtube comments on a song I like and someone called it sophistipop. That sounded like such a stupid word I looked it up to see if anyone else used it, and ugh, it’s some Internet-person non-genre.

Anyway, I’ve been going through a few sophistipop playlists and found a few things. Mostly it’s just C-tier UK stuff with a bit of Roxy Music sprinkled in.

Singing in this is as annoying as fuck, but someone else could do a good version of this.

Don’t remember this song at all from when I rushed through Bowie’s discography. Maybe I just heard the intro and skipped to the next one.

Real good version of a song I was never that fussed by on the album.

This is the worst video I’ve ever seen.

Fact the dingus’s doing a Sam Cooke impression and dressed like a Black Panther doesn’t help.

Always liked that Heaven song, but not much else. This is alright.

Had to look up the lyric from the chorus, it’s:

‘Cause I’m absolutely
Absolutely sure
Of a great thing
etc.

Ohhhhhhh I didn’t realise this was Bananarama. I don’t think I’ve ever liked them much, but I like some of the J-Pop covers of the SAW songs (I Heard a Rumour, Love In The First Degree). This song is real good though. It’s probably obvious at this point that most songs I like have a kind of desperate feeling.

Couldn’t remember what movie I knew it from, but it’s Karate Kid.

You’d think typing ‘bananarama’ would be fun, but it’s not.

All the song’s I’ve listened to so far have been pretty average, but I like this one well enough. Maybe I’ve heard it in a movie before? Title translates to Break the Iceberg.

Here they are both singing it together in giant spotty dresses.
