Silliest UK hit ever
The silliest uk hit I can recall was by STREETBAND, called TOAST, others of course would include anything at all by chaz & dave, joe dolce shaddup yer face
So refresh my memory on some more. (by the way, I have quite a selection of older brit stuff on mp3, some of which are hard to find even on kazaa, pm me requests if you have been searching for that old tune, obscure welcome).

Didn't Paul Young sing "Toast" in the "Street" band ?
I was in an 80s band called "Cutting Edge" we were signed to MCA Records, but after 4 single releases & TV shows ie Crackerjack & Saturday Superstore, MCA had spent that much dosh on us they couldn't wait to get rid of us!!!!
Would you know of a website I could go to track any past info ?
Thanks

cant find the song I want...its not a silly one, but one I remember from the mid 80's, particularyl poignant to me at the time.
it went something like this.....*ahem*....
chorus
no more the fool who waits around
waiting for you to bring me down
those days are gone
no more the fool who lies awake
crying and waiting for the day to break
no more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the floor
those days are gone......
bugger if I can find it anywhere, and I have searched for years!!
anyone remember it or who it was by??

Just why I stayed around
When all I found was a heartache
I believed your every word
Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make
But why did it take so long
Alas, now I've seen the light
I found the heart to say
No more the fool
Who waits around
Waitin' for you to bring me down
Those days are gone now
No more the nights
Layin' awake
Cryin' and waitin' for the day to break
No more the sound as my dreams fall and hit the ground
While I'm waitin' around
No more the fool
You thought I'd break
Then you were wrong
That I wouldn't see what's goin' on
But I knew
Here I am
I'm alive
And you'll see I'll survive
Without you
And I won't be the one who comes runnin'
It ain't like it used to be
It's your turn to run to me
No more the fool ...
All the nights I waited for you to call
I waited for a sign that you would stay
But it's so clear
You didn't care at all
No more the fool
No more the fool
Who waits around
No more the fool
No more the clown
No more the fool
No more the sight
No more the sound
And hit the ground
No more the fool
No more the fool ...
No more the fool
No more the sight
No more the sound
No more the fool
I shall try and get it for you shortly on mp3

"Dancing with the rebels" "Country Boy" "Lonesome Cowboy"
We also played with Paul Young & Frankie goes to Hollywood & were signed to MCA same time as Nick Kershaw around 84.
Matt Nelmes sang and may be producing now. When I last spoke to him he was living with Hazel Dean an 80s singer.
PS. The songs were dire but great producing.
