Haysi Fantayzee - John Wayne is Big Leggy - Vinyl single sleeve

 

Well, that sure is a quirky performance in the video above!. When you're telling your kids about how much better music was in the eighties, please remember not to show them this video!

Formed in 1981, Haysi Fantayzee consisted of singers Jeremiah Healy and Kate Garner, and her boyfriend Paul Caplin who was the band's songwriter, producer and manager.

John Wayne Is Big Leggy was the 80's band's colourful debut single and was a double A side with Sabres Of Paradise. The song reached #11 in the UK singles chart.

Healy once accused Boy George of stealing his look, but after the band split-up he went on to work as a DJ and album mixer and, apparantly worked on a Culture Club album!

Kate Garner went on to form a brief solo career before becoming a photographer in LA, California and Paul Caplin now runs his own internet software company.
