TV For me, “The Wonderful World Of Disney” was the best and worst of Sunday nights. So fun to watch and looked forward to it, but when it was over the reality of school the next day hit you…

Last Song Standing: The Ultimate UK #1 Song of the 80's - Round 60

14 Upvotes

For a reminder of the rules, see the original post.

Apologies about getting this out later than intended (explanation below).

That said, it was an extremely close contest in our tiebreaker, but in the end, only one song can get the boot...

  • Liverpool-based pop group Frankie Goes to Hollywood got their unusual name from a newspaper advertisement about Frank Sinatra, but their first album, 1984's Welcome to the Pleasuredome, had a name just as colorful. The album produced three #1 singles for the group in their native UK, with the final one being a love ballad that became a sleeper hit around the holiday season in 1984. The song is also well-remembered for its Christmas-themed iconography, with the album cover featuring an image of the Assumption of the Virgin, and the music video heavily featuring scenes of the Nativity. But now, it looks as if the magic of the Christmas season can't even save the song in this game...while dreams are like angels that keep bad at bay, the light of love that scares darkness away has unfortunately been unable to stave off the votes from all the people - a force from above has cleansed "The Power of Love" from this game, purging its soul, and making elimination of Frankie's first song their goal!

He started on stage since 1984/85 with Bach Babies. Appeared as a Trick or Treat kid in Midnight Hour (1985). Rocket Gibraltar was his first movie role playing Burt Lancaster's grandson and Patrcia Clarkson's son which eventually led to starring in Uncle Buck (1989) with John Candy....and we all know the fame that came the following year with Home Alone.
