 Listen to:
Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight"
Suede "Saturday Night"
PSB "Casanova in Hell"
Never thought of this, but hey you're right!

When I saw the beautiful movie 'call me by your name' , (great song title by the way, Neil!), I heard me singing a different lyric in my head when the chorus of the Psychedelic Furs' 'Love my way' was played.
Try it, it's fun!

 Deodato's Keep On Moving (1982)...

... is an absolute dead-ringer for Pet Shop Boys' Why Don't We Live Together?
Funky track! Chic-y too. Thanks for this. And yes, total WDWLT

Nice song, but which particular PSB song(s) does it remind you of?


Psychedelic Furs' Love My Way reminds me a bit of The Loving Kind

Psychedelic Furs Chorus in that Song is totally 'Getting away with it's. Sing 'Aaaal myyy life's to it. It works!

First 25 seconds ... of sit and wait

It’s a PSB track

But it isn’t

Anyone with me ?

Does anyone else think this has a bit of a Home and Dry vibe? Straight after the chorus.

So funny, I've been thinking that recently and always end up singing "Getting Away with It" when I start with the Psychedelic Furs song!! 8)

 What's the song that sounds just like Absolutely fabulous?
The tune that comes in at the seven second mark of the Real McCoy song Another Night has always reminded me of Absolutely fabulous.
It's a great track.

at 2:50 the guitar solo is similar to the one in the outro of "This must be the place..."
