Bringing their three-minute classic hit to the rewind stage this year [D#] are the pop sensation of [B] 1982, Musical [Bm] Youth.
It's always there, you always get it, and then you're not sure.
And I'm going to forget what key the first song's in there.
[N] Hey Dennis, what's the first song?
[E] I've forgotten that.
Harder than it comes.
[G] Harder than it comes, there you go.
[B]
[C] The [B] famous five are now two, lead singer Dennis Seaton and [Bm] keyboardist Michael Graham.
The band were best known for their number one single, Pass the Duchy.
It sold five million copies and made them [C] household names.
We're number one of the year, very pleased to see this get to number [Fm] one.
Here's Musical Youth.
I love it.
[C] [G]
[C] Musical Youth were a group of school kids from Birmingham.
With a string [G] of hit singles and a Grammy Award nomination, [C] the early 80s were good for them.
But their [F#] success soon unravelled and they split in 1985.
[C] [B]
They reformed 16 years later and are now regulars on the 80s retro circuit.
[Bm] People say to me, do you like singing Pass the Duchy?
Of course I [C] do.
You know, because I love seeing the response of people when they hear Pass the Duchy.
[D] [F#]
Their rebirth started out low key.
Dennis called me and said, listen, [G] there's a tour going in, I think it was Guernsey.
Tour?
There's two shows?
What about tour?
You can't talk about tour.
Tour is two shows, it's not two shows.
OK, a weekend away then, whatever you want to say.
A weekend away is better.
I said to Michael, this guy wants us to do a gig as Musical Youth, do you want to come and do the gig?
You know, down in Guernsey.
And he kind of hummed and aahed.
And then he said, you know what, let's do it.
[E] Back on the road after a break of nearly 20 years.
Times have changed.
That's what happens when they give someone who's not professional a shirt to iron.
They ain't got a clue.
There are no longer managers, business advisors, lawyers, accountants or hangers-on in tow.
The nice [G] thing is, is that now there's not this massive 55 entourage [Cm] that, you know, makes life so much, so much easier.
[B] Less egos, less hassle.
[G] And right from the [F] very first reunion gig, [D] there was one big difference.
So I've given Michael £800.
He's looked at me, what's this?
I said, that's your fee for the two gigs.
And he went, what?
What are you telling me?
I said, well, I've divvied it all up and that's what you've got.
And he couldn't get his hat on because all the times we was on tour as Musical Youth, with the success
Yeah.
We never got paid for tours.
We lost money on tours.
[G#m] We don't know how we lost money on tours.
We were playing in [C#] stadiums, stadiums.
But this [D#] musical reunion is no filthy lucre endeavour.
[N] He only comes on the road now to sleep.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, gosh, yeah.
Way before he used to come and talk to
I'd come there
He's gone.
I'm gone.
Because the kids
Three kids under three is just tough and I'm glad I've now experienced being a father.
But in hindsight, maybe I should have done it slightly younger.
What I need now is an 18-month world tour.
Anybody listening?
18-month world tour.
It's not just music fans wearing Dayglo in a field in Henley who want to revisit the past.
This yearning to enjoy music from
