???. This track has been on the Topplers MP3 page for a while without anyone guessing it was by Gary Jones of the Cult Figures! Weird but wonderful! Beefcakes

This is Gary Jone's attempt at the perfect 80's pop song complete with syrupy string synths! Unfortunately Duran Duran and Spandex Ballet kept him out the charts!
