I was watching this video for Dead Or Alive's 1991 single "Your Sweetness Is Your Weakness" and the song/video remind me SO much of Pet Shop Boys in the early 90s. Anyone else think so? I definitely picture Neil singing it, but not wearing a dress in the video... ;)

What other songs could you imagine being a PSB composition?

They should cover their remix of Mein Teil but sing it in English.

Well, it's much more Stock/Aitken/Watermann in their late 80s or early 90s. Extremely cheap sounding! Don't like it! A few scenes in the video are a Being Boring rip off!

'Whispering Your Name' by Alison Moyet
'I Beg Your Pardon' by Kon Kan

Both sound so PSB that i thought they had produced them when they were released!

I'm currently in love with a french 80's song called "Bella Vita" by a MALE DUO called David et Jonathan...the chords are the same as in "It's a sin" so...you know...it's very good.

Will they be the same chords as Cat Steven's 'Wild Word' then? Jonathan King?
