'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye' by Soft Cell is the greatest popular music song of all time

I bet it is, you dirty old bollocks, I bet it is.

@anon19035908 Without destroying the artistry of my title can you let people know this is the Friday bangers thread, Martdog? If there’s one already just chuck it into the Announcments section. Top man.

Banger.

That or run away with me

That or this…

I forgot how big the chorus was

also I’ve never heard the 12" version before. got it on now, crikey, absolute game-changer. should I listen to more Soft Cell?

on a similar lush, emotional 80s electro pop note, what you sayin’ to this?

more than the original?

the Cher one might be my earliest memory of music

Yeah I prefer the Cher one cause her voice is fucking brilliant on it.

shout, that.

production and arrangement is best on the original, but I low-key love a bit of Cher’s voice.

would go for some Cher deep cuts if you know any…

Btw by original do you mean this one or Betty Everett?

Much as I love Say Hello… that is a very bold claim.

I would offer Heart Of Glass by Blondie and also Be My Baby by The Ronettes. Also I’m Into Something Good by Herman’s Hermits
