China Crisis - King In A Catholic Style (TOTP 1985)

[@gordon7462]

You got to admit there was some fantastic music coming out of Liverpool from the 80s.

[@DavidThomas658]

Judging by the number of measly views and comments relating to this song and CC, the said are way way way overlooked for their talent and brilliant songs !!!

[@GriefTourist]

I remember Billy Connolly choosing this as one of his favourite songs on Radio 1's My Top Ten

They might be miming here but they were obviously very adept at playing their instruments. Loved this song for years.

[@alanfox7312]

[@JK-wt5cq]

Brilliant

[@grahamwilliams3737]

One of the best from the 80s ....there was a lot of dross but some timeless classics.

[@michealkelliher8428]

True, I wouod say 10% was dross, tgat still gives the 80's 90% success rate, that's an A grade. Today, I would say, the success rate is 30% that's an E grade. Big difference

[@cor2250]

Wow back in time 🤩

Quality street 😎

[@97grinder]

I swear this movie was used in a movie? Anyone know what movie it is?

[@michealkelliher8428]

I'd say pound for pound, in Europe, Liverpool was the best music producing city in the 80's, maybe even the world.

[@Foghat1961]

Is that a Bond Electroglide guitar?

Catholic guilt summed up so well. Great lyrics if you look them up.

[@intelligencelimited2708]

It's catholic as in open-minded, eclectic, not the religion. As I read it, it's a piss-take out of 80s yuppies-could be wrong.

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

@@intelligencelimited2708 Someone needs to ask them! I thought I read years ago it was about catholic guilt with "for what you want take me instead" being about choosing God over fame. Am sure they're flattered we're discussing it all these years later either way👍

[@intelligencelimited2708]

Check the video, though. IMHO It's referring to someone on the make, in politics or business, (is there any difference?), with no fixed opinions, ( open minded, a pragmatist, i.e. catholic) a snake, a Michael Rimmer type. ..in the video Gary is dressed as a spiv or a oily glib sinister looking Oswald Mosley character- 'for what you want take me instead' means / I take to mean they're a sham, a charlatan. 'your main man confidence smile' suggests a trickster, too. I think it's very funny.
