Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon

Another one of those 'earworms' that pop into your head when you least expect them and another group that made a fleeting appearance on the UK charts and then promptly vanished. I believe Kon Kan were Canadian and when I first heard this on the radio back in 1989 I could have sworn it was New Order thanks to the lead vocalist's uncanny Bernard Sumner impersonation. This track also features samples from Lynne Anderson "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden" amongst others. Some time later I found the album this track came from in a used record store. Nothing else on there came anywhere close to this and in fact the album version was subpar to this single version...
