Haircut 100
Haircut One Hundred (also known as Haircut 100) was a pop music band formed in 1980 by Nick Heyward, Les Nemes, Graham Jones, Phil Smith, Mark Fox, and Blair Cunningham, known as one of the forerunners of the popular new romantic movement.
They were successful from the beginning, with their 1981 single "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" setting the stage for the breakthrough success of the album 'Pelican West' (1982).

The single "Love Plus One" was even bigger than anything previous, and Haircut 100 seemed poised for stardom just as Heyward decided to seek a solo career. The remainder of the band tried to continue with the album 'Paint and Paint' (1984), with percussionist Mark Fox taking over Heyward's vocal duties, but they broke up soon after.
Although somewhat dismissed as a 'one hit wonder' due to the spread of blockbuster hit "Love Plus One", the band proved influential by the late 00s when new wave revivalist bands such as Vampire Weekend and No Kids emerged employing a similar style of preppy, afrobeat-like guitar pop.

Love Plus One
Haircut 100 Lyrics
I, I went off to the right
Without saying good goodbye
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?
Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring
La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love
Give love some soul
If I may be quite so bold
Where does it go from here?
Is it down to the lake I fear?
Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Ay ay ay ay ay ah
Then I call
Ring, ring, ring, ring
La la love plus one
Ring, ring, ring, ring
When I call love
Love plus one

I miss the 80s
I miss thinking I have my whole life ahead of me
I miss the innocents
I miss that first grasp of independence
I miss thinking I knew it all
I miss that feeling of thinking about nothing but girls
I miss the first kisses
I miss falling in love for the first time
I miss falling in love for the first time again a month later
I miss never worrying about my health
I miss the times when music moved me
And
I miss my youth

You know, I could add Dรฉpรชche Mode, Vince Clarke era, Clarke left in December, 81, Soft Cell broke up in '84, and Yazoo, with Vince Clarke, broke up in '83.
Just yesterday, I bought a Soft Cell/Marc Almond compilation called "Memorabilia The Singles" which contains an excellent Marc Almond solo track called "Tears Run Rings" which I frankly never heard!
It's an 80's British Pop classic!
I dig Marc Almond's Lead Vocal on everything he sings!
My favorite "Soft Cell" Single is "What!" from '82!
My favorite album from the '80's British Pop era is The Cure's "Disintegration" LP from '89!
My favorite Single "A" Side from the British Pop '80's is Dรฉpรชche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" from '81!
A Synth Pop classic!
Note: Please go on YouTube and watch Melinda Marx's, Groucho Marx daughter's version of "What' from 1965!
Such a cool clip!
