Modern Romance were formed in 1980 by previous members of an earlier group, the Leyton Buzzards , the band achieved a string of UK chart hits before the original group broke up in 1985. Andy Kyriacou reformed the band in 1999 who continue to perform the group's music. Formed in 1980 from the fragments of the Leyton Buzzards, Modern Romance hit the charts with their third single release Everybody Salsa, which is the same song where Andy Kyriacou joined They followed this later in the year with similarly themed " Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey ", which reached the UK Top 10. In the US they scored a number 2 hit on the Billboard Dance chart with "Can You Move", a mostly rap variation of "Everybody Salsa". After further UK Top 40 hits with " Queen of the Rapping Scene " and a cover of the 1955 hit " Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White " Their next release saw the band reach their highest UK chart position with " Best Years of Our Lives " in late 1982.
