SHANE MACGOWAN AND NICK CAVE
"What a Wonderful World"

This is exactly how we would have remembered it if Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan were to have performed at our prom, with proceeds going to the Big 80's Hair Fund.

SILLY SYMPHONIES
"The Skeleton Dance"

A cutely creepy (or creepily cute!) 1929 Disney cartoon featuring jaunty, dancing skeletons. Who knew the clattering of human bones sounded so much like xylaphones?

KLAUS NOMI
"Simple Man"

Watch as Klaus is feted at all the glamorous parties, pulling off the most impossible range of outfits. It's a simple plan.

DAVID BOWIE
"Life on Mars"

Elusive and stylish in this classic incarnation of Ziggy Stardust, Bowie bares his vampire incisors.

FAD GADGET
"Ricky's Hand"

Treetops thrashing to industrial beats + electric drill punctuating the chorus + time lapse imagery = good times! Not to belie the coveted final shot of Ricky's hand.
