Electro Classic Jukebox: Thompson Twins.


Named after Thompson and Thompson, the bumbling twins from Hergé's The Adventures of Tintin, the Thompson Twins successfully married synth-pop with a touch of calypso and a dash of raggae. Taken from their last album as a trio, 1985's Here's To Future Days, the fun and lively "King For A Day" is a perfect example of everything coming together neatly in a brilliant single. Here's Tom Bailey (a personal note: I share the same name as him!), Allanah Currie, and Joe Leeway performing the aforementioned "King For A Day." Charming video, as well!

Stay tuned, dear readers, for an interview I did with the Presets!
