I remember a video from the late 80’s (86-90) that was filmed in front of a neon sign shop, the female singer had very short hair and reminded me of Lisa Stansfield but it wasn’t her.

Help please?

Neneh cherry?

Not Neneh Cherry (she did a great version of X-Ray Spex’s Germ Free Adolescence though). It was a white girl with short dark hair and filmed at night in front of the shop in Cambridge Heath Road, Hackney, just around the corner from where I lived at the time.

These very specific details weren’t in the Op. I feel cheated I’m oot.

Mel & Kim?
Betty Boo?
Lisa Sransfield?

Not Mel and Kim (they were locals and lived near Chatsworth Rd), deffo not Betty Boo, and Not Lisa. This is driving me nuts!

Yazz the only way is up?

I never knew Mel and Kim lived near Chatsworth Road!! That’s where I live lol

Is that street quite respectable then?

It ain’t never gonna be respectable lol

Is that street quite respectable then?

I see what you did there! 😆

I remember the shop – used to live just round the corner myself (Claredale….?)

Don’t remember the video however

It’s this one.

Cougar it was funny once 😆

The neon shop is at 2:35, I worked at the bus garage next door at the time and loved looking in that shop window. Cracking song as well!

Ha! – so as well as living round the corner from the neon shop, I also lived round the corner from the lead singer (Corinne Drewery) when I was a kid in Lincolnshire.
