139. I’m Not Scared – Eighth Wonder (1988)


This has to be one of my favourite songs from the 1980s and despite the fact that this version features Patsy Kensit taking over the vocals of Eighth Wonder (which was apparently her brother’s band) it really has a wonderful sound and feel to it.

Originally a Pet Shop Boys song and featured on one of their album “introspective’, I don’t know how Patsy and the lads came to do their version but the backing track is so similar to the original by the Pet Shop Boys that I can’t help but think they had a hand in it!

‘Introspective’ by the Pet Shop Boys was one of the first CDs I bought back in 1988 when I bought my first CD player and a longer version of this song was on it, but it is this version (featuring Patsy) that will forever be my favourite version.

If you don’t know it – enjoy, if you do enjoy again….
