This video features the original and official version of The Neverending Story.
Limahl's first solo hit was in 1983 with Only For Love which
reached #16, followed by "Too Much Trouble" which stalled at No.64. However, his third single featured here which
gave the singer his biggest and best-known hit which reached #4 in the UK, and
also became an American hit, peaking at #17.
The song was composed and produced by the electronic music producer Giorgio Moroder, and features one of his legendary arpeggios. The lyrics were penned by Keith Forsey, and the English version of the song features additional vocals by Beth Anderson who recorded her vocals in America without Limahl.
So, who watched Limahl surviving a night in a rat and bug infested room in the Australian jungle? He was accompanied by the jovial chef, Rosemary Shrager, during the 2012 series of I'm A Celebrity get Me Out Of Here.
