1. Famous but shy British female, popular in the 70s and 80s.
2. Her work could be described as bizarre and complex, but always unique and interesting.
3. The song could be summed up with the words “military fantasy”.
4. Her attire was always weird too but had a lovely voice and big black eyes!
5. The UK loved her!

That’s it!
