Well, I was STILL a teen and this song was on my Brit-pop compliation record, something called "Now That's What I Call Music." Anyway, it had the hits of the time and it was all too English. I never bought a Kajagoogoo album. Just that their pictures were in every magazine, be it No. 1 or Smash Hits. "Too Shy" was clever, catchy and had a fantastic bass line but here Nick Beggs looks ridiculous.
Anyway, they were part of that invasion along with Bowowow and Culture Club, so it deserves some sort of mention.

I saw them on television this year and couldn't believe how well they can still sing and play. Totally professional.
"Too Shy" was an MTV staple- never cared for the video but still love the song. It has an awesome synth sound - very atmospheric and thick. Rumor had it Nick Rhodes played in the band, or at least helped with production. They also did the Neverending Story song, which is pretty good too!
I can only remember his Morodor single 'The Neverending Story' which I love!
Oh, you know, I think it was a solo effort, with Morodor - right!
Yeah they kicked Limahl right out after that first album. I remember them reforming around the mid 80s under the name Kaja, but they didn't do so well.
