Great thread. In the spirit of ‘crap UK Bands that could be Balearic’.
(Also Andy Warhol directed the Misfit video. Which blows my mind. Andy bloody Warhol!)

Human League b-side. Topical lyrics too. Love this.

That is a cracker, but for me it’s too catchy - too much of a ‘proper song’ - to meet the Balearic brief. ‘Keep On Going’ just burbles along with a nice groove and no chorus to get in the way - plus a nice touch of sunny Spanish guitar :sunglasses:
