everybody knows the Seagulls most well-known hit (#5 here), and their singer Mike Score's iconic appearance in The Wedding Singer. wait no, that was a stand-in. sorry, it was William Broad who played himself in that funny movie. anyway, the Seagulls proudly hail from the Liverpudlian music factory, which count among its prestigious members, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Elvis Costello, Echo and the Bunnymen, Dead or Alive and Sporty Spice. oh, and that little band called The Beatles.
the Seagulls had a pretty short career - they pretty much Scored (heh) during the first half of the 80s, and their timing couldn't be better because of MTV exposure. Score's hair was all the rage, even as the decade wound down. someday, i hope to track the man down in Cocoa Beach, Florida and shake his hand for contributing to the soundtrack of my growing-up years. at least before he croaks.
