Feel like this song is going to be revisited a lot after SALTBURN. The video was directed by the great Derek Jarman and I think Saltburn has quite a few Derek Jarman-esque moments as well.

I was a young girl and a teenager in the 80s/90s and although I was a metal fan, I also loved the Pet Shop Boys especially and other synth pop bands like Erasure, the Communards, Depeche Mode... I know the PSB were singing about being gay but it was more than that - I'm autistic but not diagnosed until my 40s, I'm female and heterosexual - but songs like this talked to me. Made it ok to be "different". And the music is just wonderful. My mother loved them too. Thank you Pet Shop Boys!

Pet Shop Boys are one of the most iconic synth-pop duos of all time, and their music videos are just as iconic. The band has announced that they are remastering all of their 80s videos, and the first one, for their hit song "West End Girls," has already been released. The remastered video of this song looks amazing, and it's a great way to celebrate the band's 35th anniversary.

Times have changed so much. Back in the 80’s, we knew so many artists were gay, but their record labels made them pretend they were straight in videos. Today, that would be unheard of.
