Pet Shop Boys - Shameless

When it came out I didn't like this much - it seemed a bit sneery and also a bit of an over-reaction. Either I've become more sneery myself or the times have caught up with it or I've just become easier to please or I've finally succumbed to the fucking amazing monstrous disco wham of it but now I think it's up there with their best ever tracks and it really should have been and should still be a single (though putting a song called "Shameless" on the B-Side of "Go West" was a good joke so I forgive them).

It's one joke, but oh MY what a joke. Maybe my favorite song by them.

Remarkably prescient, that song.

I'm confused, have they done two songs called Shameless then? I only know the one on the bside of Go West

We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame (give me fifteen minutes)
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl to obtain celebrity
We'll do anything
With anyone
Go absolutely anywhere
For anything
At all

Nice to see other people out there who agree that this song is pure brilliance. And arguably more relvant in the current media environment...

You're all making this song up, aren't you?

Silly boy, we are not.

Oh, it's a classic song. What was the B-sides/rarities comp called again? That had a few real pearlers on it...

The Pet Shop Boys make me homesick more than any other British band for some weird reason.
