The Pet Shop Boys’ single West End Girls was released when I was sixteen and then remixed and re-released in its better-known form when I was seventeen, so it’s got a special place in my heart. That’s probably why I enjoyed Plum Thunder’s parody, Boys Without Girls, which takes the music of West End Girls and name-drops Accordion City places and obsessions.
My only quibble: how can you use a Pet Shop Boys tune and give it a Toronto theme but not mention the Church-Wellesley Village, our most faaaabulous neighbourhood? Big omission, that.

Excellent Joey. I didn't quite get the hurl at the end, though! And one thing. I think the hipsters refer to Church and Wellesley Village as the "Gaybourhood".
