I’ve been neglecting my blogging duties but I hope to be back on track by the weekend. To keep you going til then here’s a 1984 single from Edinburgh band Hey! Elastica.I remember seeing this on a Saturday morning kids TV show, still half asleep and probably hung over, and buying it that afternoon. Since then my opinion of it has changed several times - depending on my mood I find it infectious or bloody irritating. Today I Like it.
Make up your own mind and if you want to buy Hey! Elastica stuff your best bet is probably Ebay.

Very good, but don't you have any Devo? Any band from Akron, Ohio is OK by me. I think it's the rubber.

Y'see a misspent youth listening to Devo can prove useful in a pub quiz.

Glad you enjoyed this one. Unfortunately, it's the only Hey! Elastica record I have.

It's a zipped RAR file.
Thanks for the link, Lorne.
Seems to be no Hey Elastica on CD that I can find. But, I'll be posting a couple of pop videos of theirs on YouTube.
Lorne, thanks SO much, you have made an 80s man-fan so very happy!!!

Can I offer you something in return? x

Yowser! I've been after this for years and then forget all about. I just came across this today. I'm happy! Thanks, D x
Bought this out of a bargain bucket with about 20 other 7"s 1hit or non hit wonders.All my vinyl had to be abandoned in my move abroad about 15 years ago Always liked it, good to hear it again. Now, if I could just remember some of the others......
this is now on iTunes, last.fm, Spotify, Napster etc.
