Thompson Twins
Thompson Twins was a British new wave band prominent in the 1980s, known for synthesizer-driven pop hits like "Hold Me Now" and "Doctor!
Doctor!" The name comes from the bumbling detective duo in the Tintin comics, though the band—despite the plural name—was primarily a trio at its commercial peak.
That song is pure Thompson Twins.
