Help me with this trivia! 80s UK pop music.

Alright so I’m at this pub quiz, and there’s this one question got me stumped. It's this 80s pop song by a British band, super catchy, got a synth beat that you can't forget, and the video had this weird futuristic look, like they were on a spaceship or summin. And no, it's not something by Duran Duran. It's driving me nuts! Save my streak, someone!

Could be 'Radio Ga Ga' by Queen? They do have a video where they're kinda on a spaceship setting. Worth checking maybe?

Ohhh, I think I know the one! A-ha - 'Take On Me'. That's got a cult following, super memorable synth line, and a distinctive video. It's got a comic book, not a spaceship, but honestly, when you're in the 80s zone, it all blends together, doesn’t it?

Lol just name any random song from the 80s and tell them they're wrong. 'Total Eclipse of the Heart', 'Karma Chameleon', why not? Flip a coin, mate.

Def sounds like something by Ultravox or Visage. 'Fade to Grey' by Visage has this totally futuristic vibes and is synth-tacular. Definitely not a spaceship in that vid but feels like it could be. Could also be 'Vienna' by Ultravox, but lesser chance of that being your tune.

Hey! Try 'Together In Electric Dreams' by Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey. Even though it's not a band but a duo, it's got all the elements you mentioned, and the video is all out of this world. Good luck with the quiz!

Hmm... not Duran Duran, and very 80s, spaceship vibe... Could it be ABC's 'The Look of Love'? They have sort of futuristic videos too! Or might be worth looking into some of Spandau Ballet's stuff.

You're possibly talking about 'The Final Countdown' by Europe. I know, they're not British, they're Swedish! But the tune's got that unforgettable synth intro and the music video's got them in what looks like a spaceship. Worth a shot!

Sounds like something by The Human League to me? Check out 'Don't You Want Me', iconic synth and very much that space-age aesthetic in the vid. Could be the one!
