TOTP on BBC4
That was awful. A disappointment , because I'd always had the impression that she was dumbing down to song Chinnichap songs (great tunes, shit lyrics) and would do something more proto-punk if she cut loose.
The Regents have some punk / post punk connection but I can't remember what it was. It might be really tenuous. Good pop song. The Beeb DJs probably wondered why anyone would sing about some bird who was over the hill (17 and not yet a woman? I don't think so, Nicey!).

The lead singer of The Regents (I knew nothing about them then, even less now) didn't look quite the part, but that record was a lot better than I recall. His two backing singers call to mind a prototype Shampoo.
