I preferred the Actually album, with great songs like It's A Sin and Rent cool

Not my favorite of theirs by a long shot, thought it is a classic song.

As someone who's loved them for awhile, I've never really understood the appeal of this song. It's fine I guess, but just kinda neutral

I get the same feeling form What Have I done to Deserve this, which is huge for them too.

Great song.

I randomly listened to this song back to back with Boogie Nights by Heatwave a few years ago and noticed that the chord progression to West End Girls is similar to the end of the Heatwave song (and Heatwave also mentions something about "the west end" as they adlib). Coincidental and minimal similarity but it perked my ears up.

OTOH, it's definitely my favorite by them. It just sounds so mysterious.
