When I said that I loved his work on the film The Krays (with his brother Martin, on guitar), his eyes just lit up! He loved being recognized for being in a film released only in art houses in the States. Real cool, down to earth guy.

The version of the story I heard was that Spandau Ballet described the jerky movement of a target after being shot repeatedly by a German MG42, specifically. The MG42 was one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield due to its reliability, its extraordinary rate of fire and the calibre of round it used (7.92mm). The name "Spandau" was a generic term referring to any German machine gun, which was based on the town of Spandau where many weapons and munitions were manufactured.

"Span-daouw balleh". The band belonged to the "New Romantic" music scene, where it was fashionable to use Middle-European Places in the Music (The american Band "Berlin", Ultravox "Vienna" or "Drowning in Berlin" by the Mobiles.) Spandau is a part of Berlin and was widely known as the place where the last top-Nazis were kept and executed. The term refers to the twitching and "dancing" a body does when being hanged/strangled and was popular in the late 70ies as there was only one prisoner in the whole facility (Rudolf Hess) and everybody was wondering/demanding when he would do the "ballet". He did so in 1987.
