I was gonna say the same thing about TMK... Also, I'm mainly digital, so I rarely buy anything physical  TMK was awful, but T+M without K was even worse: that stupid zombie story, Roxxas as a born again hippie, and the implication that the abuse Mordru put Mysa through was all her fault!

That's exactly why I'm outraged that T+M would imply such a horrible notion.

Very Vanilla was an ice cream flavor, but I can't remember from which company.

Continuing the theme naming, was there a Clearly Chocolate?

Not that I recall, but there might have been a Strawberry Fields Forever.

The forgotten crime noir classic To Live and Die in Chocolate Soundtrack by Wang Chung (the only song of theirs I still enjoy is the one they did for The Breakfast Club, "Fire in the Twilight," which they did not write.)

I never really listened to much Wang Chung, but Tony Banks's Strictly Inc., which features Jack Hues on vocals, is excellent.

Yeah, Banks is pretty close to being my favorite musician ever (and most of the possible competitors are people heavily influenced by him). It's kind of a shame that he never really found success as a solo artist.
I'm hoping we get at least one more good rock album out of him. Apparently even Phil is working on new music, and he can barely move, so there's really not much excuse for Tony.

My dad really likes Wang Chung. I'd have fun getting singles at record fairs for him. I still listen to some of it.
Hues voice has held up well, so I'll need to look out for Strictly Inc.

The modern song they chose to cover was Nelly's "Hot In Herre." It could've been as horrible as the idea sounds on paper, but Hues and the other guy made it work, it was a good laugh. Quite possibly the only time I ever enjoyed a performance on that show.

Quite possibly the only time I ever enjoyed a performance on that show. I see that was hosted by Vernon Kay. Back when I crawled in late from a night out, he was one of the presenters on a channel called UK Play. It had a few people who would go onto to do bigger things in radio and TV, like Matt Lucas & David Walliams. Russell Brand also appeared on it, not long after an early sacking from MTV. No surprise what he turned out to be like.

My master plan of turning this into a Wang Chung thread is bearing fruit I see...
Everyone have fun tonight!

She had a "Westernized" nickname, as many folks from China/Taiwan tend to adopt. but she decided to embrace her given name, and educate folks on how to pronounce it instead

When I'm in a frivolous enough mood, I can still enjoy the Wang Chung song "Everybody Have Fun Tonight."
