Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings.
Bobby discovered and produced the Pet Shop Boys. The Flirts' 1982 song Passion was cited by Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe as a primary reason for the band's formation.

The Flirts’ song “Temptation” is a catchy and fun pop song that explores the feelings of desire and temptation that come with attraction. The song emphasizes the pull of temptation when looking at someone, and the desire that accompanies it. The chorus repeats the word “Temptation” several times, emphasizing the strength of the feeling.
The song begins with the lyrics “What I knew when I looked at you, temptation, what I like when you touch me too, temptation.” These lyrics suggest that the songwriter or narrator is drawn to someone they are looking at, and enjoys the physical contact with them. This sense of desire and pleasure is a central theme throughout the song.
The second part of the verse includes the line, “In the middle of the day I poker, I play,” which may suggest that the singer is engaged in some kind of gambling activity as a distraction from their feelings of temptation. This line adds an interesting layer to the song, implying that the singer is trying to find ways to cope with their desires, but ultimately can’t resist the pull.
Overall, “Temptation” is a fun and infectious pop song that explores the complex emotions that come with attraction and desire. It is a catchy and memorable song that is sure to get stuck in your head.
