Non-Europeans only

3/13/2008 9:25:00 AM

When arranging my vinyls (again) I was struck by the frequent mentioning of Europe in many UK hits about 25 years ago. For example:

"Europa and the Pirate Twins", Thomas Dolby, 1982


A great opening line: "I was fourteen, she was twelve."

"New Europeans", Ultravox, 1980


This whole Vienna album is a masterpiece.

"Living in Europe", Thompson Twins, 1982


Great hairdos, too.

I guess you could go to jail for mentioning Europe in a UK hit these days.
