Boy George : We’d only found out the day before that we were on. When we got in the charts we were told we weren’t eligible for Top Of The Pops. Then we got a call to say a slot had come up because Shakin’ Stevens was ill. I roped in a couple of my mates, Jenny and Pat to do backing vocals. They weren’t singers, they just wanted to be on telly. It certainly made an impact.
I was really pleased it caused a bit of controversy. After we did the show our plugger got called in and was told, “We can’t promote this record. What is it? Is it a bird, is a plane, is a drag queen? What is it?” Just think, I probably owe my career to Shakin' Stevens.
