Ok, I'll be serious now, I wouldn't say any of the parts of that song are particularly disparate. Sure its grandiose and rather overblown, but that's half the glory - it's got an uplifting quality.
Great male falsetto singer

OU is right. It's like individually OK elements just chucked together with no real purpose.

Your face is just chucked together with no real purpose.
poor the Jimmy
still it all ends well, he meets the rest of Bronski Beat on the train , and they share apples and make mint pop songs
ironically urbandictionary lists bronski as
bronski
the act of having your face slapped, batted or mushed when put between a woman's breast
the action of saying BRRRRRROOOONNNNNNNNSSSSKKKKIII between a ladys breasticles...supposed to tickle?

I love Bernard Butler. He went to the same secondary school as me you know.

I don't know where he came from, but I always felt it was well pompous to bill him and the singer as McAlmont & Butler.

Kotch - definitely falsetto, as for quality 25 years on? Um? But sticking with the Junior Marvin theme

yeah why not! the only falsetto rapper should get a mention

There's a long tradition of professional male falsettists. Obviously I'm talking the classical tradition here, pop music can get to fuck.
Wiki starting point - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countertenor
I am one btw, I decided to be one when I was 13 and I'm going to make a professional musical career out of being (a particularly good) one. So it's not in the slightest bit weird - in fact it's an eminently sensible choice to make in some respects as half decent male altos/countertenors are quite uncommon.

I didn't mean that it was somehow not legit, I just meant it must be weird trying it out at first and finding out if it sounds good or not
Fair enough; anyway I think it's very hard to compare countertenors and falsetto pop/soul/reggae singers in this particular context. There are a *lot* of CTs out there who sound fucking horrible but persist regardless, often becuase noone tells them how shite they sound.
