I’ve posted a song from Blancmange before – 14 years ago! – with their version of ABBA’s The Day Before You Came. Sadly co-founder of the band, Stephen Luscombe, died last week.
They had seven Top 40 hits in the 1980s.
This one got to no. 8 in 1984.
Blancmange: Don’t Tell Me
Stephen Luscombe: 29/10/1954 – 13/9/2025. So it goes.

This is the song with which I would have started off this category in the best of circumstances.
It’s the lyric on this that I really like. It has that sense of contingency, of paths that might not have been taken, and in that context reminds me of Abba’s The Day Before You Came which you may remember I waxed lyrical (ahem) about some moons ago now.
It was the last single taken from Pulp’s big breakthrough album Different Class but not the least.
