BIZARRE GENIUS FROM 1987


The Pet Shop Boys cover Elvis Presley with a little help from Joss Ackland, who played to perfection the evil South African Ambassador from Lethal Weapon II. Weird, wonderful, and of an era. And such a great tune.





These guys perfected fin de siècle. Inexplicably the Gen-Xers of the 1990's forgot it, and now we're just catching onto the exquisite anticipatory sense of loss they created. Truly everything old is new.
