Cock Robin - Cock Robin

1985 Housekeeping
Cock Robin
Cock Robin
Genre: Synth-Pop
2.25 out of 5

Highlights:
Just When You’re Having Fun
Once We Might Have Known


Okay, raise your hand if you thought this was the name of a glam metal band. 
Just me?
Who on this green earth would name their male/female duetting gentle pop, Berlin-meets-Air Supply wannabe Cock. Robin.???
This is the sort of unctuous trash that wins Eurovision. Or writes songs for Paul Young. 
Barf. 
Only when it sounds like they are aping Missing Persons (“Just When You’re Having Fun” “Because It Keeps on Working”) is the album…any…fun.
