The Pet Shop Boys are an English pop duo: keyboarder Chris
Lowe and singer Neil Tennant. Neil and Chris first met in
1981 by accident in an electronics shop on the London Kings
Road. They discovered their common interest in electronic
music and started to write songs together. First they
called themselves West End but soon changed the name into
Pet Shop Boys - inspired by friends who worked in a pet
shop.
Their first single West End Girls was first released in
1984. But it wasn't successful. The record company wanted
to make a new song, but Neil and Chris were convinced of
the yet-to-come success of this record and made a new mix,
which became their first number one hit in 1986. That was
the first step in becoming the world's most successful pop
duo! They had m More...

------ About the song It's A Sin performed by Pet Shop Boys
At first I've seen the video of "It's a sin". That time my English was lousy and I did't catch most of words. But common sense of the song I've cought quite clearly.
But now I've dived totally in the text. I'm impressed! It's all about me.
Be carefull This song is about suicide!! | Reviewer: arturoabraham
------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
Hey! dont you guys know that this song s about suicide! about kill your self.. is not about America or West Countries..
Go West is an English Idiom which means Die, Suicide, or kill your self!..
In English you can sayfor instance..
THe last year my Grand Mother Went west! it means.. she died!
In the month of Jan/Feb in 1987 whwn I was in class IX , I had listened this song to my friends house for 4 to 5 times. After that I was unfortunate to listen it again.Is there anyone to help me to send this song ( one more chance ) to my mobile or to my mail ID ?

Irony? | Reviewer: PolishGirl1990
------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
Am I the only one who thinks that this song is an irony of West Europe and USA? Of course in 80's people from East and Centre Europe thought that life in the 'West" is a paradise because of Communism. People couldn't buy toys for children, fashion clothes and even sweets or fruit, so when they compared both cultures, 'West' seemed to be so colorful. But I think this song shows that this stereotype about USA isn't true and living in USA isn't as 'peaceful' and perfect as those people believed. Sorry for my poor english (I'm Polish)

------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
I think there was a review when this song was released why the Pet Shop Boys covered it. Originally the Village People, sure it COULD relate to California. But I think when the Pet Shop Boys covered it it was making fun OF America and how laughable it was to be the "land of freedom & prosperity". In reality, it's just another dance song. Are you going to question why, in their music video, they put their black female soloist in a RED Statue of Liberty outfit?
It's about being Gay | Reviewer: Zed
------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
...or they could be refering to the fact that San Francisco (on the West Coast of the USA)is the most openly gay city in the world, where the two people in the song can feel free about openly loving each other, y'think?
Relation to the West. | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
Though those boys are from england, I think that the song really relates to Australia. At the time it was written, Perth (Western Australia)was seen (and still is) being a slow paced, relaxed city in comparison to the Eastern States Cities like Sydney, or Melbourne.
I thought this song was very dramatic espeailly the music ties in the whole theme it's fast and angry which I think is grea. Wowwww..... Can You Forgive Her is the perfect song for anyone whose in an unfair situation,Sometimes people do things to annoy and don't listen. 'That's childish, so childish explained their excesses and selfishness was showing how extremely childish and not well brought up they were. Good for anger and frustion . It's fun to dance to.
The lyrics are saucy but the music is not enough there should be fantaeasy syn pad and eletric piano which would make the noise intersting. This song makes me picture me in a room with a handsome guy my age who takes my virginity. I imagine the girl is me. This song arouses me.
Everytime I listen to it I want to lose my virginity.
Good Song IMO | Reviewer: Jason

I like the tune, what more is there than that? Notes of Pachabel's Canon in it make it even more enjoyable.
As for John A's review posted below - I can only say that John - you're an imbecile. The Pet Shop Boys are English, not American. There are more "wests" out there other than California you idiot.

Though this song sounds good, i find it like a great insult to all the east culture. N. America is not the center of the world and is far from being the best place. i'm american and i must sadly say that it only shows a disgusting imperialist idealism

------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
I think this song is a memory of my young age. I heard it in a roller center firstly. I like to hear it that I go for roller again and again. The roller centre is moved, but this song still is a label for this age, young & energytic & never afraid & willing to go west. Later, I heard this song in the dance floor. It is also my wonderful young age. The song always let me want to go west to see the world. It is really free and interesting; I like it. Anyway, I con't connect this song to any 'gay' matter. It is the best song to recall my memory and represent my golden age. Now, I just bored with my work, my stock market and my crazy part-time study.
I thought the song was poorly written and extremely irrevlent for the whole theme of Pet Shop Guys. Pet Shop Boys are meant to be fun, feel-good and give you the boost of aderline like at the fun fair. Psychological overwhelmed me when the line said ''I thought I heard a baby cry
I thought I hear a train'' destroyed 5 music sculptures under a minute. It Meant To work Like This ''I thougth I heard someone screaming, I thought I heard a staimi would add more drama.
I don't want anything to do with crying babies no,no,no!!! Pet Shop Boys are meant to be dramatic, hyper and give you a chain reaction or a suger rush.

By the way if you thing you are better than Pet Shop Boys, why you don't listed in top 10 chart. I never hear your name on Grammy Awards and at another Awards. Just tell me at my email uz1kid@yahoo.com if you are on top 10 chart music.
Don't narrow your mind with something that only can see by your eyes, but see the unseen.

------ About the album Alternative performed by Pet Shop Boys
Well the second cd is the more enterprising, where as the first cd. Your spoiled for choice is the crawl to perfection the petties achieved in the late 80's - early 90's. And the fabled imperial phase, which was from It's a Sin to Domino Dancing. And for your enjoyment here's the collection of b-sides for you to enjoy.
It's all umpa thumba basslines, great lyrics usually bout lost love. And unimagined passions. Seriously they should build a monument to the Pet Shop Boys, for the albums Very, Behaviour, PopArt and Fundamental. But to here the other side of midnight, check out this double pack. Packed to the gills with lost treasures. And hidden gems. Hey Headmaster, You know where you went wrong, Shameless, Bet she's not your girlfriend. And many more. A national treasure. And a flawed masterpiece, but a master piece all the same. 7/10.

------ About the song GO WEST performed by Pet Shop Boys
personnaly i think it´s ridiculou to label this song ´´gay´´....it really shows the ignorance of certain peolpe (not everyone here but some)! can´t you see that there´s a explicit message behing the song?? the russians soldier singing, the statue of lenine contrasting with the statue of liberty, the stairs, leaving behing the ´´stupid´´ way of thinking: socialism!
well, i don´t want to start criticising socialism but come on, this song really passes on a great message, and it´s a shame that some people prefer to label the song ´´gay´´ instead of trying to understand it...homophobes, you´re just ingorant and i pity you!
anyway, i love this song and i´m looking forward to listening some songs like that!
thank you for evryone´s support!
