New Order... but im not sure of the song i'll guess Shadowplay???

Correct about the band cranny  but not the song. I should add it was a hit single.

here's another...

Do we all remember the infamous interview on Countdown between Molly and Iggy Pop? (who was chemically enhanced at the time)

Well Iggy, against better judgment, performed a song after the interview.
What was the name of the song and what did he do with the microphone besides sing with it?
 

I'm Bored was the song.

What didn't he do with that mic  . The microphones on Countdown were just stage props with all the lip synching  .

It's on youtube

Well done MT.  Yes the Mic got a serious going over but sticking it down his pants was what I was after.

Here's a question all should know the answer to WP.

Mark "Jacko" Jackson released two songs in 1985 while he was still playing football. One made it well into the top 40 for memory the other wasn't as successful. Can anyone name the two songs?

[mightytiges]

LOL correct WP  

Well the font and the picture (aryian boy) appears to be a reference to the NAZI regimen ??

Joy Division- Is that a reference to a post war germany?

Correct cranny. The controversy was over the fascist references and font.

'Joy Division' comes from the book 'House of Dolls' based on the life of the author's sister who was forced into a Nazi concentration camp brothel.
