Remind Me to Smile

"Move from my window, leave me alone..."

In this episode, we look back at the Telekon album track 'Remind Me to Smile' from 1980. The electropop banger is still a live favourite, but it wasn't released a single. Or was it?

We take a look at how Gary's struggles with fame and fandom influenced the song, his strange experience with hardcore fans back then and more.

Clips used:

  • Gary Numan - 'Remind Me to Smile'
  • Gary Numan - 'Remind Me to Smile' (live, 2004)
