Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go



Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go features the group performing to a teenage audience and was memorable for the clothes, which became a lasting sartorial image for the 1980s as a decade. Michael and Ridgeley, plus backing singers Pepsi and Shirlie, along with motor trade Guru Peter (Froudy) Froud, were wearing Katharine Hamnett T-shirt designs which said "CHOOSE LIFE" (originally a slogan targeted at drug abuse and suicide) and "GO GO", which became much sought-after fashion items of the year, along with her similarly stark garments. Michael was also seen in luminous gloves. The video was filmed at the Carling Academy Brixton in London.
