We were always the last on our street to get things. I remember we had our first telephone in 1979 – a lovely Post Office Grey and Brown two-tone affair which had a lovely loud ring. This was many years after the rest of the country had been connected! It was the same with cable TV which my parents had had installed while I was away at drama school and I came back to it in 1991. Until this time MTV was something I had only ever heard referred to in ‘Dire Straits’ songs but now cable TV was in my living room and this was the first song I heard/saw on it and (you can guess) I loved it. I loved it so much I went out and bought the Army of Lovers’ album ‘Massive Luxury Overdose’ and have been enjoying it ever since.
This song (and the video) were played a lot on MTV Europe in 1991 and even though the group were not very successful in the UK despite a very great effort by their record company to promote them (suspect that a very highly camp Dutch band is not totally representative of that great country) I love their work and so I give you…Obsession!
Now listen to the song and watch the (original) video……
