The inital Bananarama/Fun Boy Three drumbeat is misleading. Not because the rather excellently named sleaze-popsters don't have a clear set of 80's musical references, but the megaphone vocal and sharply jangling guitar recall something rather more hard edged. I Couldn't Get Off is a tale of well, not managing to get off, for various reasons.
More successful in the getting off stakes and more obviously walking the fine line between the enjoyably sleazy and simply unpleasant is the surprisingly non-satirical My Date with Jenna Bush. More or less spoken over a gradually building jangle, it's a snide fantasy of copping off with the famously wild first daughter at a party; remarkable mainly for its downbeat, dead-eyed, mechanical feel.
Intriuging and worth a listen as they are, I'd shy away from noting the way that these two songs have the same slightly empty and grim aftertaste as a cursory and unsatisfying sexual experience - except I suspect the band would feel that's the point and will consider it a compliment.
