"19" - Paul Hardcastle
A breathtaking collage of clips, sound effects, and a reverberating keyboard riff. It's all beaten into shape by the video, which features cutting-edge effects: a computer-animated flag, from which a star morphs into the face of a soldier.
One can argue with the lyric (the average soldier's age was about 25, thus undercutting the whole point of the song), but this is *so* different from anything we've seen in years.

Mal ne Frage in die Gemeinde.
Sind für euch #texte in der #musik wichtig?
Hört ihr zu?
z. B.
#thepolice - #everybreathyoutake
Lied über nen #stalker, aber als ewiges #Liebeslied berühmt
#BruceSpringsteen - #bornintheusa
#usa kritischer Song, wird aber als #Hymne für das Land überall gespielt
Oder #PaulHardcastle - 19
Riesen #dance Nummer ausse #80er, die den #floor gefüllt hat, prangert aber das Durchschnittsalter im #Vietnamkrieg an.
Sind nur Beispiele, daher wie ist das bei euch? -
In 1988 The avg floor that Hans Gruber is on was Nineteen... N.. N.. N.. N.. Nineteen, Nineteen.
At least according to Paul Hardcastle.
The lengths I go to, for gags for this thing is immense. Do you know how many hrs I spend thinking about them... just for 2 people to like it.
Also... some of you just won't get how good & subtle this gag is unless you went to school in the early 80's and understand 80's pop culture.

CW: 1986 - "The wizard (jazz mix)" by Paul Hardcastle
In February 1986, Michael Hurll asked Paul Hardcastle for a shiny new title theme for Top of the Pops. "The wizard" was written in a couple of days; the fizzy-bangy-twiddly tune was used for the next 5½ years.
When Paul had had a bit longer to think about the tune, he came up with this mellow mix. It featured on the 12-inch single.

(edit: updated YT link w/better mix)
Another finished tune this week, chill retro-jazz-funk– very summery, I think. A bit of analog, a bit of digital, inspiration from #PaulHardcastle, #RahBand, #Sade, #GeorgeDuke and #AnitaBaker, and a Splice vocal line that may or may not have been used a thousand times over on top, is what this is.
