[art of noise] peter gunn theme

In 1987, two of us choreographed the Peter Gunn theme for a bunch of kids in a review, around a single street lamp, slightly stage left. Was this one of the earlier pole dances? We were pretty chuffed by it, they looked slick, the guys and gals and my friend was a pretty hot choreographer. The light and sound were in place and a techie I knew came in gave it the once over, so all seemed well.

They did do it well but unfortunately most people likened it to Bugsy Moran so it lost a bit of its wow factor plus the song was still too freshly in people's minds and everyone was doing arrangements to it. Doesn't matter. Whenever I listen to this I still remember that black and white number.

It would have been nice if the Art of Noise could have run the characters in the video in monochrome and the girl's dress in red. That's just my personal preference though.
