Come on, what wasn't to like about Voice of the Beehive? Great name, great clothes, fun 'n catchy pop tunes.
Admittedly their lyrics did walk the fine line between clever and stupid, and they didn't really have the songs to sustain an entire album much less the three they actually released. But in moderate doses they could be great craic. Plus I once saw them live, opening for That Petrol Emotion, and they put on such an impressive performance they were called back for two encores. How many opening bands can pull that off?
This is a track from their 1988 debut Let it Bee (another great title - I'm a sucker for great titles!), which was either the first or second album I ever bought on CD.
