<p>At my school &#8211; an all boy type institution &#8211; you fell into one of three camps. You might have been an indie-loving sort &#8211; rubbish at football and with enormous sideburns to prove you didn&#8217;t care about sport. You could&#8217;ve been a games-lesson-loving trendy with your facial furniture shaved to the ear so that not a single wisp of sidie adorned your non-hippy head. Or, finally, you may have been a &#8216;grebo&#8217; &#8211; a metaller who broke all the rules and grew hair long, neatly trimming undergrowth with a devastating operation called an <em>undercut</em> &#8211; a number one or two all the way around the area below your scalp.</p>
<p>Mr Frank Musik, it seems, is stuck somewhere between these three schoolboy stages.</p>
<p><span id="more-338"></span>It&#8217;s impossible to comment on this not-entirely-unpleasant single without mentioning it. It&#8217;s like a suede toupee, PVA glued to the scalp, catching the eye like a fly floating past the television. It rather overshadows the music, this cut, which isn&#8217;t difficult as it sounds like an inoffensive Lloyd-Webber vocal grafted over a directionless Eurodisco loop. The kind of thing you might hear as you wait outside Topshop as the woman in your life spends an eternity deciding nothing in there&#8217;s good enough for her.</p>
<p>But then &#8211; hark! Is that Holly Vallance?</p>
<p>The appearance of the Aussie beauty, previously thought lost forever, casts a new light on the song, on the video, on Frank, on the WHOLE DAMNED THING! Suddenly I thoroughly approve of Frank and his Musik. And I like watching Holly beating up muggers unconvincingly.</p>
<p>So hats off to Frank Musik. I lift my weird toupee in your direction, for giving some paid work to an antipodean actress who briefly rocked my world. In the 90s.</p>
