Fancy more then just Come Inside and Chinese Eyes

Manfred Alois Segieth is Fancy.  Based out of Munich he was a campy hi Nrg artist and producer who worked with many artists and under the alias Fancy for himself.  I don't usually write about songs that had a huge crossover success.  Though Fancy had hits in Europe and especially Germany, in 1985 his double A side of Chinese Eyes and Come Inside managed to have a huge impact on U.S. dance floors climbing all the way to #2.

One of the aliases he has used was Tess and that's the one that can be seen on the Psychic Interface single Tribal Stomp.

The first charted single was 1984's Slice Me Nice so it wasn't until his 3rd that he had his biggest and most well known hit.  I'd venture to say 1987's Raving Queen is one of the lesser known ones.  The single cover alone is a scream, you go Raving Queen.

Tess was even charting in the sixties

Usually in my posts you can see that I'm super enthusiastic and raving.  As you noticed you're not getting much of that here.  I do like some of these songs and I really enjoyed the double A side in 1985 but I can't say that Fancy is one of my favorites.

You Satisfy my lust
You do it til I bust and more
Got those Chinese Eyes

Computer (in my mind) AGO

Ago had a string of italo disco releases.  Computer from 1986 was one of the later ones.  

I personally would have called this song If you really wanna see the show or Come to the future.

The first Agostino Presta release from 1982 is still the best.  I love the whole album.

I won't forget this record because I sold it back when I was first starting on Ebay.  I wanted to get a lot for it and I knew I would so I put it's starting price at $24.99 just in case it did poorly but like a distracted numskull I wrote it in the buy it now column.  Wouldn't you know that record wasn't even up for 5 minutes!

What a laugh, Ago re-did Fancy's Chinese Eyes but look what a mess they did with the record cover!

Speaking of Fancy's Chinese Eyes how much did I love that song?  Almost as much as Come Inside.  Weren't they a double A side?  At least on the U.S. pressing, they were actually a German act.  In any case, it was a song that really didn't need a re-make particularly one so totally similar.
