Friday Night Musical Interlude - New Wave Pop - PART 19: The Thompson Twins are not twins, theres three of them not two and none of them are named Thompson. Lying about who you are just doesnt seem like a good way to start a long term relationship with your audience, but there you go. I remember being strangely interested in the girl who was in the group because she dressed funny and appeared to be bald. They also seem to be missing eyebrows, but that could just be my eyes. As to their name The Thompson Twins, heres the real scoop: The Thompson Twins were a British New Wave pop group that formed in April 1977 and disbanded in May 1993. They achieved considerable popularity in the mid-1980s, scoring a string of hits in the United Kingdom, the United States, and around the globe. The band was named after the two bumbling detectives Thomson and Thompson in Hergés comic strip The Adventures of Tintin. At various stages, the band had up to seven members though their best known incarnation was as a trio between 1982-86. They became a prominent act in the so-called Second British Invasion, and in 1985, the band performed at Live Aid where they were joined onstage by Madonna. youtube/watch?v=H9694K85Xc8
