Quick question- 80s pop star with bad hairstyle

[Ethros]

Just a quick question that's annoying me, what's the name of that pop star (British I think) from the 80s who had this really dodgy hair style? (didn't they all)
It was like bright white with a bit of black in there too. I think his name started with an L

It's just annoying me because I can't think of it

Cheers

Billy Idol comes to mind. Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer once accused him of ripping off Spike's look.

No not him I'm afraid. The hair was quite long, past shoulder length.
Pissing me off because I can't search for him when I don't have a clue what his name is or any of his songs.
I think he might have been a bit of a one hit wonder probably


btw, it was Buffy who actually pointed out that Billy Idol stole the look off Spike

Was it the guy from Flock of Seagulls? They sang the song I run (I think that was it?)

I think this is a trick question. 80's popstar with a bad hairstyle. How many people could that possibly describe?

That was going to be my guess, based just on the thread title before opening it!

Agreed. The age of the Big Haired Rock Stars.

And I say that as someone who was old enough to be a part of that era.

 

[Flibble]

Could you be thinking of Limahl?

Yeah. This is like coming up to me and asking who that guy was I was talking to in 1984. You know, the guy in the parachute pants? And the sleeveless vest? He breakdanced, remember?

Could you be thinking of Limahl?

Yes! That's it! Thank you my friend

Here he is-

The reason I wanted to know is there's a girl I know who has blonde hair but with a streak of black in it, and it made me think of this guy! Although the style is better looking that his

All of them. Also rap stars, TV stars, housewives, sports stars....

It would just about have to be.

People even shaved their initials, or God forbid, lighting bolts into their hare.

Yikes!

It looks like a flock of seagulls had made a nest somewhere...

People shaved lightning bolts into their rabbits?

 

[CorporalClegg]

Yeah. They were hairy rabbits!

 

[Spot's Meow]

Oh my god that hair style is so ugly.

 

[Trekker4747]

That's nothing. The "Flock of Seagulls" haircut is FAR worse.

Check it out

But of course as has been said above, bad hair and 80s Rock bands are like peas and carrots.

I think Flibble is right. The pic's of the lead vocalist from Kajagoogoo. A little wikification and voila: Limahl.

 

[Ethros]

Come on, let's bring the style back!


Haha, seriously though it probably will do at some point in the future. Some fashion idiot will suddenly decide its "retro"
