Obituary: It Must Have Been Love
Original video located here. Accessed 11th December 2019
Song title: It Must Have Been Love
Artist: Roxette
Year: 1988
Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Marie Fredriksson.
When I was a kid in the late eighties, Roxette seemed to me like the biggest stars on the planet: They had multiple hits that got tonnes of radio play and a constant presence on early morning rage. Of course in the years since, Roxette's material may come across as dated but to be one of Sweden's biggest pop exports (second only to ABBA) is nothing to sniffed at. And besides it's unlikely that Savage Garden would've existed without them.
Certainly this is both their best song and Marie's best vocal performance. Shame that voice has now been silenced.... :(

Obituary: Lets Go To Paradise
Original video located here. Accessed 12th April 2019
Song title: Lets Go To Paradise
Artist: Mental As Anything
Year: 1987
Why I like this song:
R.I.P. Greedy Smith
The Mentals certainly had no shortage of hits during the eighties - many of which came from Greedy,
And without whom, my childhood would've been a lot less colourful.
