I admit, I am one of the many who wrote off White Town back when he occupied the bargain bin at the Record Store. I figured he ripped off John Williams’ “Imperial March” and faded away into deserved 90s obscurity.
I was wrong.
As usual, Todd in the Shadows does impeccable research and this was an enlightening episode about an artist that I knew only a little about before.

I watched this the other day. Definitely interesting. I had no idea Bob Hoskins sang either. That was a revelation!

A revelation but not a surprise, IMHO.

The Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa are another two good ones. He’s even great in a bit part as the manager in Pink Floyd – The Wall. Most people probably know him from Who Framed Roger Rabbit though.

I knew the song in passing at the time, and hadn’t thought of it since.
