Dark Elf, I'll nominate another favorite of mine, although they could have shaved their underarms and the vocalist reminds me of the Coyote from Roadrunner, this song is really very good, I like it so very much, the tune always stays in my head, it sounds simple but infact it is not and has orchestration especially violins more hugs to you dexys midnight runners come on Eileen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q

Not sure about the high pitch here but respect however instrumental constant tum tum tum tum tum tum kills me arggghh I do not like this.

Ummm...this is probably the only time in the history of mankind that Dexys Midnight Runners will ever described as "prog". I don't hear it. I don't see it. And the rolled-up bib overalls were tacky looking even in the 80s. The song is catchy, granted. It has violins, granted. It is not prog, however. The Pogues were more prog, and that's even funny for me to say.

The intro of 'West End Girls' by Pet Shop Boys always reminds me of Hawkind circa 'Warrior'.
The outro of ELO's 'Mr Blue Sky' is stunning prog bombast. From the avant garde end of prog came The Flying Lizards with 'Money' |

Aw you bubu, ok maybe not necessary prog (my judgment might be clouded due to liking this track) however listen again more carefully try to imagine anyone trying to remake this song it's more complex than one thinks really Big hug to you, sweet grumpy I honestly like this song hihihi except for the underarm bush https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc-P8oDuS0Q
