Pet Shop Boys - a walk down memory lane

[BeamerBikes]

I think this forum would appreciate some memory sharing of Pet Shop Boys 

As a teen, I came out in the 90s.  Single Bilingual was probably the first album I devoured.  The title track being Single Bilingual became an anthem for what I thought I wanted as a career.  Se Vida E music video was always eye candy for me at the bar I worked at in college.  
 

Home and Dry became a song I always wished I would have someone playing for me on my international trips.  
 

Now most recently, I’m reminded of Rent and the tagline - “I love you, you pay my rent”. Fits a bit with the hobby.

I was wondering if this was a cover of a great song with the same name by Gerry Rafferty, but it isn't.  I know a grand total of two of their songs... West End Girls and their classic...

So, all of their song titles were lifted from prior recordings from other artists?

PSB - version of Home and Dry  PSB’s version is completely different in both arrangements AND lyrics.

Some song titles overlap, but that’s an exception not a rule.
