Music And Lyrics

I never thought

That I could be so satisfied

Every time that I look in your angel eyes

A shock inside me

That words just can't describe

And there's no explaining

Something in the way you move

I can't deny

Every word from your lips is a lullaby

A twist of fate makes life worthwhile

You are gold and silver

I said I wasn't gonna lose my head

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

I wasn't gonna fall in love again

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

And I just can't let you go

I can't lose this feeling

These precious moments

We have so few

Let's go far away

Where there's nothing to do but play

You've shown to me

That my destiny's with you

And there's no explaining

I said I wasn't gonna lose my head

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

I wasn't gonna fall in love again

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

And I just can't let you go

I can't lose this feeling

A twist of fate makes life worthwhile

You are gold and silver

I said I wasn't gonna lose my head

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

I wasn't gonna fall in love again

-But then pop goes my heart

-Pop goes my heart

And I just

Can't let you go

PoP was one of the biggest bands

of the '80s...

...but today they're known

as Colin Thompson's old group.

Colin, or as he's been dubbed

by the queen, ''Sir Colin ''...

...has gone on to sell millions of records,

star in blockbuster films...

...and create his own cologne,

''A Whiff of Colin. ''

But here's a question:

Can you remember the name

of the other guy in PoP?

Whatever happened to Alex Fletcher?

Tonight we find out

on Battle of the '80s Has-Beens.

We think it's gonna be bigger

than American Idol.

So, what do you think, Alex?

Well, l love it.

lt's brilliant on so many levels,

l don't even know where to start.

Good for you.

Because some of the people

we've approached...

...have had a little problem

with the term ''has-been.''

Have they? Have they?

You see, l don't share that.

l am a happy has-been. Really.

lt's a very clear statement:

''l live in the past.

Everything good l ever did

was long ago.

Don't expect anything

new or exciting from me now.''

Really takes the pressure off.

Especially on a first date.

Good for you.

So we've already taped several shows...

...and we're going to start

airing them this week.

And some of the performers

include REO Speedwagon...

-Speedwagon.

-...Flock of Seagulls...

The Flock? Okay.

-...Debbie Gibson, Tiffany...

-Debbie.

-History there.

-...and Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

So ''Relax.''

Nice one.

Good. Okay. Worthy adversaries, all.

And how many songs

would l actually get to perform?

l'd like to do two, you know?

A ballad and then maybe

a more up-tempo number...

...where l get to shake it a bit.

l can't promise any of the acts

that they'll be singing.

Sorry? Confused.

What would we be doing, then?

Boxing.

That's why the show is called

Nattle of the '80s Has-Neens.

Only the winner gets to sing.

Right, right, right. Got you.

-Afternoon, Mr. Fletcher.

-Hello, Willy.

Have a good day.

Yes, well, enjoyed it so far.

-All right. There he is.

-Oh, my manager.

All right, listen,

l had no idea they meant boxing.

Nobody said a word to me, l swear.

No, it's not a problem.

l can definitely take Flock of Seagulls.

We did a tour with them in '89 and we beat

them severely. They cried like little girls.

All right, listen. lt's my fault

and l hate myself for it, but l'm not upset.

And do you know why?

You've been at my liquor.

Because of her.

Cora Corman.

Biggest star in the world.

Bigger than Britney and Christina

put together.

And guess who she loves.

Her country?

You. She's a huge PoP fan

and she wants to meet you, Alex.

Hang on, hang on.

Khan, l've missed you.

Alex, I have Sophie here for you.

That sounds like fun. Who is she?

She's here to do your plants.

But Jane does my plants.

She can be in and out in five minutes,

and this is really the best time for her.

lt seems she cannot be stopped.

Send her up.

So start again. Cora Corman....

Why do you have a plant lady?

Why do you even have plants?

Because from time to time...

...ladies accompany me

back to the apartment...

...and one once mentioned

that plants make women comfortable.

ls that true?

Plants make women comfortable?

Well, maybe if l had plants

l'd still be married.

Yes, l think that was the problem.

Not Susan's affair

and raging nymphomania...

...but your lack of vegetation.

Hang on.

-Hi, l'm Sophie Fisher.

-l'm Alex Fletcher.

-You didn't get the message from Jane?

-No. l haven't listened to my--

She was supposed to let you know

l'd be doing plants.

Very nice. Lovely. Well, come on in.

Thank you.

l hope you have your own watering can.

Jane told me that everyone had their own.

But this last guy, Mr. Werther, about 80,

he didn't have his own watering can...

...so he starts yelling at me

and screaming at me in German:

l'm fluent enough

to know what he's saying.

You haven't been cursed at

till you've been cursed at in German.

l know what you mean.

l dated a frulein once.

Plant stuff is in the kitchen under the sink.

And l have my own can.

Oh, well, vielen Dank.

Hi, l'm Chris Riley, Alex's manager.

Oh, Sophie Fisher. Nice to meet you.

So kitchen?

-Yeah.

-Great.

So Cora Corman, huh?

How great is that? Do you believe it?

All right, wait, wait, wait.

ls it even a good idea? Pros and cons.

Pros:
She's a huge star,

great publicity, terrific money.

Cons?

No matter what you do,

in 40 years we'll both be dead.

Okay. Huge star, great publicity,

terrific money versus eventual death.

l think we have to think about it.

Okay, good, because Cora

is shooting a video tonight.

-She wants to meet both of us right after.

-Tonight?

-Tonight?

-Yes, tonight.

You all right?

Do you have a Band-Aid

and antibiotic cream?

No, no. And sadly,

l think l've lent out my iron lung.

Okay.

Well, then l'm gonna go because,

you know, this could get infected.

And it's not clotting yet, but, l mean,

l'm a little hypochondriacal.

You just-- You can never be too careful.

Anyway, l'll come back and finish.

So come again. l mean, you live here.

l'll come again.

l'm gonna go get this looked at.

You should really have a first-aid kit.

Thank you. Have a good night. l'll see you.

Weird.

-Don't give her a key.

-No.

So you said something about tonight.

Tonight we meet Cora.

I've got to have my Nuddha's delight

Om shanti, shanti

I've got to have my Nuddha's delight

Om shanti, shanti

I want a revelation

And sweet salvation

And the eternal fire

Show me the eternal fire

Like sitting meditation

You give me elevation

Can you take me higher?

She seems like a very spiritual kid.

Yeah. lt's nice to see

a young woman exploring religion.

I'm not satisfied if I don't get

My Nuddha's delight

And cut.

Terrific.

-Hey, l'm Ray, Cora's manager.

-Chris Riley.

-Nice to meet you.
