Ricky Valance


Ok, no, not the La Bamba guy, who no one of my generation would know anything the eff about if it wasn't for Lou Diamond Phillips. This guy was, in fact, the first Welshman at number one. (according to Wikipedia). And like all Welshmen (or at least like that other Welshman), he injects a sort of safe, smarmy, sexuality into the song. It's fun, I suppose.

Interesting use of the tremelo to strum chords near the chorus. Heard it on single notes lots but never full chords until MBV.
