Where were they 20 years ago?

Great pop band rather subsumed by Punk/New Wave. They were very good

See also Gay Dad and Babyshambles ('00s) Babylon Zoo and Freakpower (90s) and Zighe Zigue Sputnik and Gay Bikers on Acid (80s) All thought to be impeccably cool and zeitgeisty, yet musically one hit wonders at best. In some cases, not even that

Be Bop Deluxe. Where are they now?

On a hiking holiday in the Peak District with Brinsley Schwarz.

They were no Deaf School.

I've now seen the lead singer from Sigue Sigue Sputnik do two children's parties. It's heartbreaking.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik never had the look of longevity. (That was ABC).

Wiki says they had commercial success between 84 and 89. I’m surprised it was that long a period.

Neal X was the bassplayer. It's quite the career change.

I cannot imagine a better start in life for the youngsters

Sigue Sigue Sputnik were clocked as absurd, fun, but doomed at the time of their single. No chance of longevity.

Didn't they sell advertising between the tracks on their album? That was going to get old fast.

Neal X was the bassplayer

Tony James played bass

Still, I have been singing it this morning.

That was going to get old fast.

and yet, here we are.

Whither Mr Big, Queen copyists from about the same period as the Bebops?

Step back in time dear Romeo she said...

I thought it was "get back inside me" and that he just wasn't satisfying her.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik tried every hype trick known to man and still didn't get the number one slot.

Because their single was lame. It wasn't awful, just not particularly brilliant.

It certainly hasn't aged well. The follow-up was a slightly better song.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik were presented as being too cool for skool but the hype was all they had.

And they were plug ugly.
