  Fine Young Cannibals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fine Young Cannibals was an English band best known for their 1989 hits "She Drives Me Crazy" and "Good Thing".
The group was formed in 1984 and broke up in 1992, though they briefly returned to the studio in 1996 to record a new single The Flame which would complement their Greatest Hits compilation to be released in the autumn of that year.
Fine Young Cannibals appeared as the house band in the 1987 comedy Tin Men.

 The Intellectual Activist
While watching the contest among the presidential candidates in the Democratic Party primaries, I was reminded of a campus political rally I witnessed as a college student during the 1988 presidential election.
Yet that is precisely what the Democrats are attempting to put over: to present the American public with the equivalent of a "fine young cannibal" as their candidate for president.
While Edwards's sunny disposition is calculated to put a nice face on the class-warfare cannibalism of his economic agenda, Kerry's appearance is meant to cover up the most important feature of his campaign—and the one issue on which the Democrats most need the protective façade of a gravely serious demeanor: an agenda of foreign-policy surrender.

The word "cannibalization" gives everyone a mental picture of explorers wearing pith helmets in a giant pot of boiling water, and naturally you picture yourself as an explorer.
I think the "cannibalization" idea is somewhere between denigration and worrying on this spectrum of responses.
That is the core issue of concern, the unspoken fear behind the "cannibalization" question - we understood the old market and did well there.

 She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals Songfacts
When Fine Young Cannibals first tried to record this, lead singer Roland Gift used his regular voice and the song was "She's My Baby." No one involved with the recording liked it, but a revamping of the lyrics and a falsetto voice for the new "She Drives Me Crazy" changed everybody's opinion of the song.
After Berry Levinson heard the music The Fine young Cannibals provided for Jonathan Demme's Something Wild, he asked them for some songs for a movie he was directing called Tin Men.
F.Y.C. is comprised of members from the English Beat (an 80's ska band) and the singer was a sax player in some other early 80's ska band.

Although often overlooked, especially in the U.S., in the wake of their massively successful follow-up, Fine Young Cannibals is a powerful and satisfying debut.

 All the fine young cannibals | MetaFilter
The thesis of it seemed loony at the time, and seems even loonier now: That stories of regularly-practiced cannibalism are false, the result of colonial rationalizations made to justify taking over the lands of inconvenient natives.
Cannibalism (like incest), I guess, is supposed to be a gut-level taboo that would only be broken by unstable individuals, and would never ever actually be practiced.
During this time, they were handling, caring for, and possibly infecting their young children.

In the cover article, Fine Young Cannibals, Robert Tracinski examines the socialistic ideas that united Senators Kerry and Edwards even when they were competing against each other in the primaries.
Kerry does not present himself with a sunny, smiling exterior, but with an appearance better calculated to win the job of president.

 Roland Gift
Roland Gift, one of modern music's true torchbearers and the former front man of one of Britain's most pioneering groups of the 1980s, Fine Young Cannibals, is back in the pop arena with his new album, the self-titled Roland Gift.
The album is reminiscent of the sparse, classic appeal that typified Roland's work with FYC, a sophisticated blend of pop and soul with jazz and even gospel flavours, with Gift's own new spin for the 21st Century.
"The Cannibals sort of officially dissolved in 1996," says Gift, "Then we came out with The Finest, which was a greatest hits set plus three new tracks" (among those new tracks was the hit "The Flame").

 Fine Young Cannibals
When the English Beat broke up in 1983, two of the group's founders, Andy Cox and David Steele, continued as Fine Young Cannibals, recruiting the half-white, half-carribbean actor/singer Roland Gift as frontman.
With Cox and Steele's market-tested blend of ska rhythms, dance beats, and pop hooks, and Gift's quavering, American soul-influenced falsetto and striking, video-friendly face, the Cannibals attained the chart success their predecessor never knew.
Taking the name from an obscure 1960 film All the Fine Cannibals, the trio released its 1st album in 1985 and became familiar with MTV viewers through "Johnny Come Home" and a humorous, overstated remake of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds".

Talk about a brief reign as the king - these guys had it made in the chart-topping department in 1989, but now they've gone almost completely silent.
Their self-titled first album has some of their best material on it, particularly the acoustic-guitar and sax driven Funny How Love Is and a wonderfully unpredictable song called Couldn't Care More which also ranks as my favorite song by FYC.
The early single Johnny Come Home is also here, along with a surprisingly well-executed cover of Elvis' Suspicious Minds.
