Fad Gadget - Luxury

Mid-80s Classic.

Klassik Industrial >:P

Champagne, caviar, cigar and girls...Reflexion on modern way of life under Frank Tovey's point of view.

absolutlty cult band

The part where he's like "diamonds and pearls" cracks me up for some reason. He's giving the flip side on what glamour really is (pretty vacuous).

Great song! Great Band!

This song rules ass.

DAS is vert gut. verty verty gud

Il primo artista ad avere un contratto con la Mute Records!!! Ed ha accompagnato la band più famosa della Mute: i Depeche Mode all'Exciter Tour!!! Grandissimi!!!

Scalegnikoff: Depeche Mode eran fanáticos de Fad Gadget, inclusive en los comienzos de DM telonearon para Fad Gadget, luego en el 2001 para la gira de Exciter, los roles se cambiaron, fue fad gadget que teloneo para Depeche. En fin, hay un dvd sobre fad gadget donde Gaham habla de lo que significó para ellos Fad Gadget.

brilliant

...genau xD

this IS good..!

COMEDY STREET!! :D Der Bonce mit seiner Tochter xD

Frank Tovey, rest in peace. You were one of a kind.

I love how he mocks the high class-lifestyle. Precisely what he -DIDN'T- want to be... a snob.

@destructorbeam: I'm not sure I understand... but, in a way, it's best that Frank's music remains unique. I wouldn't want some rapper to "mutilate" or commercialize a Fad Gadget song, like it's been done with a few other, 80's classics.

wow tengo un amigo ke tiene 40 años me presento a esta banda kreo ke ahora kelo veo me influencio mucho jajajaja

great song! should give to think to greedy people...

R.I.P Frank miss you!!!!

I'll co-sign that. Let me book the flight and drop it at the doorstep.

I've seen plenty of acts in my life. I grew up in that time how the hell did I miss him? Glad I could see him perform here because I absolutely just started to hear of him through my love for this genre.

Frank (aka Fad Gadget) was so istrumental in starting the synth-pop movement with him and Dan Miller discovering depeche mode in the early days of 81 as an opening act for Fad @ the Bridgehouse..

I fucked so many times to this song, lol.

Luxury
Diamonds and pearls
Champagne and caviar
Cigars and girls
A private plane, a shiny car
Gold, silver and ivory
To have the Midas touch
Would it be enough for me
Can a man ever have too much
Luxury
The things I want
The things I need
One is a hunger
One is greed
Fox furs and mink
Sugar, stocks and shares
Gourmet food and drink
Up a marble flight of stairs
Suntans and shades
A yacht anchored in Saint Tropez
Butler, cook, housemaids
Can no one ever turn away
Luxury
The things I want
The things I need
One is a hunger
One is greed - tap up luxury
Luxury
The things I want - talking 'bout the things you want
The things I need - don't you worry 'bout the things you need
One is a hunger - oh
One is greed - live your life in luxury
The things I want - talking 'bout the things you want
The things I need - don't you worry 'bout the things you need
One is a hunger - help me
One is greed - learn to lap up luxury

this is better than some of david bowies songs forgive me lord byron

WHy do you list this as Fad Gadget? Even the introduction of the video addresses it as being Frank Tovey.

❤❤❤

Surprising that Frank had the looks to go along with his talent. How he missed out on the MTV halcyon days is a real mystery. Frank would not have enjoyed it, but he would have truly blown up.
