"you said we could be lovers / i just had to say the word"

Chris & Cosey’s single about two cheating lovers on the sly was a pleasant pop surprise/sellout considering their prior musical pedigree as members of the early industrial combo Throbbing Gristle. “October Love Song”, from the duo’s 1986 EP Take Five, was an underground dance hit, prompting many a goth chick (and dude) to hit the dancefloor and “air juggle” or “catch butterflies” (stand up at your desk and mime doing either of those and you’ll see what I mean).

Here’s the video (possibly NSFW – is that Chris or Cosey’s boobs?):

A beautiful little single – what else is there to say? Chris & Cosey have continued recording for labels like Nettwerk and Wax Trax as recently as 2004.

“October Love Song” failed to chart.
