T'Pau have a particular problem miming to 'Heart & Soul', because the chorus is the singing part and the spoken section multi-tracked together. Carol Decker switches between lip-synching the sung and the spoken sections, which - once you've noticed it - is distractingly awkward.Billy Smarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808866217501456210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6170682027322091019.post-70627722863625881682022-09-28T03:32:47.631+01:002022-09-28T03:32:47.631+01:00Let alone camera operators coming close to snaggin...Let alone camera operators coming close to snagging each other with their cables, the best near-miss of the Then Jerico performance I can recall is towards the end when Mark Shaw very nearly twats the bassist with his microphone stand whilst he's throwing it around. It's a brief moment, but probably gives us a good indication as to why they split up and Shaw went solo less than three years after this. <br /><br />Also I believe the slight changes to the theme tune are because the original, prerelease mix that they used of 'The Wizard' from April 1986 was in mono - with the imminent USA TOTPs made and broadcast in stereo and UK TOTP permanently beginning its stereo Radio 1 simulcasts exactly one year on from this point in 1987, it must have been seen as a good excuse. The chart rundowns do soon switch as well. mumu03noreply@blogger.com
