If you were around in 1987/88 Germany and remotely interested in contemporary music, you associated "Fancy" with the pop musician of that name and his songs being played almost everywhere.
Gamer ◊ 2023-11-30 21:20	A first attempt at a music-based special edition??
Animatronixx ◊ 2023-11-30 21:23	I'm pretty sure it wasn't, but I did have the impression they tried to secretly jump on the bandwagon without admitting.

I used to think the Golf III Savoy was also one of those, but it came out two years before the band released their debut album. -- Last edit: 2023-11-30 22:01:53
