Sex Dwarf also got a lot of airplay. I liked that whole album and a lot of other songs from the band and also Marc Almond solo.

This one from Marc Almond is the one I remember the most:

I love his voice. My favorites Say Hello Wave Goodbye, and Where The Heart Is.

Non-depressing favorites Divided Soul and Chips On My Shoulder.

I figured it was Tainted Love, but I don't think I ever saw that video before. Thanks for sharing it. That's really something to behold.

I thought that was Genesis "Invisible Touch" (American Psycho.)

Well no, they did Bedsitland which was good?

Still a rampant, mincing gaylord, though.

Torch was a favourite of mine along with Bedsitter

My mom had this on an old 45. My brother and I were thrilled with Soft Cell's version of it and used to blast it to annoy my mom.

Come on dude - Say Hello, Wave Goodbye is awesome and a total 80s classic. One hit wonder indeed...

I love that song and that whole album but I swear I never heard it played on the radio (KROQ Los Angeles, not a top-40 playlist station, only played Tainted Love and Sex Dwarf)

👍 Just looked it up - Number 3 hit here in the UK. Can't see any US details so maybe it didn't make it over with you guys...

Did you ever hear this version:-
