Priest - "The Pit"
(2017)

Hailing from the Swedish city of Linköping, here are the electrorockers.

Like their British neighbours, the Swedes are somehow good at popular music.

Maybe their ability to speak (and sing) in English plays a part in it...

The Housemartins - "Happy Hour" (1986)

The Hull, East Yorkshire, band had a No3 UK hit with this song about the Yuppie culture of Thatcher's Britain.

Famously, the band soon split, with two of them forming The Beautiful South and one becoming Fatboy Slim.

The Flying Pickets - "Only You" (1983)

Taking their name from the socialist views held by many in Britain in the early 80s - the name refers to mobile strikers who travelled in order to join a picket - the London a capella group scored the 1983 UK Christmas No1 with this.

The Londoners went on to achieve the height of their fame during the nationwide 1984-85 Miners' Strike yet, bizarrely, the song became their arch-enemy Margaret Thatcher's favourite song.

Well. . . some of them look kinda-sorta normal.

For Briddish values of "normal," that is.

Cheers, mate.

I've been listening to The Darkness since their first album in 2003. Lead singer and guitarist Justin Hawkins has his own YouTube channel.

The Lightning Seeds - "Pure" (1989)

The Liverpool rockers had a Top 20 UK hit with this in June 1989. Seven years later Ian Broudie and his pals would release "Three Lions" for England's Euro96 campaign, a song which instantly became a national English football anthem...
