Love plus one - Haircut One Hundred

'Love plus one' was the second hit single for Haircut One Hundred in the UK, peaking at number 3. Outside of the UK, the band never really took off. The strange thing is, even though the band had four top 10 hits in the UK, this song was number 90 on VH1's '100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s' programme. Bad research, anyone?

I first heard this song when Nick Heyward performed it live during a Here & Now tour in 2001. Though he didn't do the best set of the evening, this song did stick in my mind.
