FYI on FYC

In the area of totally useless information, and per a discussion I had yesterday... According to Wikipedia: Fine Young Cannibals was an English band best known for its 1989 hits "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing". Formed in Birmingham, England, by vocalist Roland Gift and former The Beat members David Steele and Andy Cox. Their name came from the 1960 film All The Fine Young Cannibals starring Robert Wagner and Natalie Wood.

I could have told you all that.

"She Drives Me Crazy" was a totally killer song!

AH-HA! (no, that was another 80's band)

I was a freshman in college when their first hit came out... I remember sitting in the Student Union looking around at everyone else while the video was playing and asking "doesn't anyone else find this a little odd?"

Thanks for the info.

Lily,
Welcome back to the land of the living. Hope you're feeling better.

Mike,
Amazing similarity between Al and Roland, isn't there? And thanks again for the misfits!

I went looking for the above "She Drives Like Crazy" video on YouTube since I haven't seen it a couple decades and instead found this:
