I was just on the website for the Damned and it made me recall that Captain Sensible made a recording of "Happy Talk" from the musical "South Pacific". I know that that particular musical is not that great but apparently the Captain's single got fairly high on the music charts in England upon its release.
Actually, I do have the album (vinyl) that the single is on. Apparently the song is a favourite of the Captain's parents. I wonder if Trader Woody or Tiki Chris could jaunt up to Brighton and ask the good Captain if he or his parents have any thoughts on the Tiki phenomonen.
This is probably a bit of a stretch but I found it interesting as I just saw "South Pacific" on film for the first time last week.Most of the music was pretty lame but quite a few parts of the film were enjoyable.I particularly liked the scenes of Bali Hai.
