Pet Shop Boys performances resurface in TOTP repeats

musicJul 3, 202636323

Repeat broadcasts of Top of the Pops have been running multiple Pet Shop Boys performances from past decades, prompting viewers to note songs such as Go West, Always on My Mind, It’s A Sin, Happiness, and the duet What Have I Done To Deserve This with Dusty Springfield. Posters identify episodes drawn from across years, with one listing 2000, 1986, and 1989 shows in a single night, and another noting BBC Four scheduling. Commenters praise the Pet Shop Boys as national treasures and single out particular moments such as the duo’s arch song titles and costume choices. The repeats sit alongside other rediscovered clips, A Guy Called Gerald’s Voodoo Ray, Soul II Soul, and artists like Chaka Khan and Eurythmics, and have prompted people to hunt for full clips and share YouTube links to specific performances.

Few things are as simultaneously thrilling and ridiculous as the fact that it's Dudley Moore saying :...LATER!" on Voodoo Ray. #totp

Well, we got through another one. No Altered Images, No Pictures of Lily, and plenty of Wishing I Had a Photograph. Thanks Bluesky. Music was patchy at best, and 66% of the presenters were awful. Still: double PSB, and Chaka Khan. Every cloud. Same old nonsense next week? #TOTP
