love is love is...

Electric Dreams was not, shall we say, the most realistic of movies (a boy-girl-computer love triangle?) but it did have a couple of things going for it. One was that the girl was played by the lovely Virginia Madsen, then in her early 20s.

Another was a pretty good (if pretty disposable) electro-pop soundtrack, including the hit title single by Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder, and this surprisingly substantial song by Culture Club...



...which has come to have a meaning, for some of us, beyond the context of the film.
