    Speaking of outrageous camp, here’s IT’S A SIN from 1987. I think this was when young me finally cottoned on to how bloody good PSB were. #TOTP #PSB

    Only the Pet Shop Boys could take an outrageously camp song like GO WEST and go “Yeah, not camp enough” and turn it up to eleven. Utterly glorious. #TOTP #PSB

    So, I reckon it should be uncontroversial to say that Neil Tennant is one of the truly great Country Music lyricists despite never having made a Country record. And “You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You’re Drunk” is absolutely the strongest evidence. #TOTP #PSB

    Some excessively flashy drumming going on here. Presumably the drummer got as bored as the rest of us. #totp

    Fucking hell nanas, you’re supposed to be delightfully shambolic. You’ve gone and actually learned the choreography for this one haven’t you and you’re letting us all down. #totp

    Is someone gonna start a mid/late 80s SAW counter? I’m not doing it, but I think it stands at 2 #totp

    Clearly the rest of the #totp picker-aparters are saying it’s 70% CHOONage, but I shall not be moved.
