South of the border we had our own little hobo.
As you can see — you have wilderness, we have car crashes.

I loved Bronski Beat as a teen. Your post got me wondering what he was up to. Still has that incredible voice. Just as moving as ever if not more so now.

Not entirely twelve minutes of hyper-skilled noodling. Beat kicks in at 1:40.
I’ve seen him live. Watch his hands.

This is the B-side to his second hit (Bunsen Burner).
In 2002, when asked what he wanted for his 50th birthday, he requested “a second hit”. A concerted drive, including a poll (scrutinised by the Electoral Reform Society) to select the track, saw “Bunsen Burner” — with music sampled from the Trammps song “Disco Inferno” and lyrics devised to help his daughter with her chemistry homework – reach number nine in the UK Singles Chart on 6 October,[2] and earned Otway an appearance on Top of the Pops, BBC Television’s flagship popular music programme. To encourage fans to buy more than one copy each of the single, he released three different versions. The flip-side of “Bunsen Burner – The Hit Mix” was a cover of “The House of the Rising Sun” recorded at Abbey Road Studios and featuring 900 of his fans on backing vocals, each of whom was credited by name on the single’s sleeve. Thanks to this second hit he has now been able to release his Greatest Hits album. Commenting on the fact that the title of this album is now in the plural, Otway said that he was very proud of it, having “finally got it (the ‘s’) on the right side of Hit”.
