Whatever became of...? #3

In the third of this occasional series, I ask you to cast your mind waaaaay back to the summer of 1982. You may remember a certain duo that had two Top 20 UK hits and, beyond that, very little else.

"Shotgun, gimme gimme low-down fun, boy," were the words with which they opened their biggest hit, which went on to tell us all about the Duke himself getting some interracial shagging action:

John Wayne, in lover's lane, making whoopee with his squaw,
But his bullet belt starts getting in the way, it's making his life a bore.
So she says to him, "Take off that thing, it's getting right between us."
- "Now listen, honey, I can't do that, not even for you, my sweetness."
- "Well, Big John, if that's a fact, then how d'you propose we do our act?
If that's the way it's gonna be, then get the hell out of my teepee."

You'll be pleased to hear that Big John manages to persuade Speckled Hen to let him stay by informing her, not in so many words, that he will instead take her doggie style.

Ah, the indisputable charms of 1980s pop music. Who said romance was dead?

Haysi Fantayzee, much like the aforementioned romance, are also far from dead. The male member, Jeremy, is a DJ type and he's got some stuff going on this year apparently. (But then has-beens always say that, don't they?) And the girlie one, Kate, returned to photography, the career she left behind when pop stardom beckoned, only to later tell her, "Nah, only joking!"

See, who says you don't learn useful shit at this blog?

As a postscript, I'd also like to draw your attention to a point at which the lyrics to "John Wayne Is Big Leggy" tell us: "He knows what's right, and he knows that God is with him cos he's white". Remind you of any currently serving US president, perhaps?
