5 years before The Blue Nile/Linn's romantic extravaganza, The Flying Lizards "Money" demonstrates sparse construction using unusual noises and instrument/voice sounds into a weird overall effect that was already so well known to 1979 pop music audience that their pastiche of it was a commercial success.
Gav, HiNRG involves the specific galloping bass line (dum dudlum dum dudlum) on a 4-square disco beat that Win's "You've Got The Power" does not employ.
And then Tom introduced the next music video in a salacious Glaswegian ad-voice-over tone.
Gah! as I enjoyed the Win/McEwan ad again today I noticed it does, in a certain part, use a legit HiNRG galloping bass. I'll defend Divine as *THE* preeminent exemplar of this genre pop music but I also gotta conceded the foul to Gav.
