One-Hit Wonderful: Cola Boy - “7 Ways To Love”

One-Hit Wonderful, Video

Could have shown the video for Cola Boy’s 1991 plinky-plonk dance smash, but I think this vintage Top Of The Pops footage captures the early 90s rather well. This was a time when there were no pop stars, just smelly-haired bedroom producers with zero stage presence.

Hence the fragrant shape-throwing of Janey Lee Grace, who moves her mouth to the song’s four lyrics - five if you count “ooh” - while the crowd does that horrible dad-like clapping along they always did to every song, ever.

    Why on earth do they keep cutting back to the keyboard? The lack of interest from his one handed, two finger jiggling is less than that of the average 7 year old playing chopsticks.

    Pretty much entirely the work of Bob’n'Pete off Saint Etienne, that.

  3. Really? I did not know that, but it does make sense - Sarah Crackers would have made a good fist of it no doubt.
