June 15, 1987: Pet Shop Boys released the single ''It's a Sin''.
'When we brought out “It’s a Sin,” it was quite interesting, because people took it really seriously; the song was intended as a camp joke and it wasn’t something I consciously took very seriously. The local parish priest in Newcastle delivered a sermon on it, and reflected on how the Church changed from the promise of a ghastly hell to the message of love.'' - Neil Tennant
''I’ve become less religious as I’ve got older. Even when I wrote ''It’s a Sin'' part of me was probably still a Catholic. The thing that I always liked about Catholicism they got rid of! I liked the Latin and the incense and the sort of music and plainsong. When I was eight years old I could sing the Latin mass in plainsong because I was an altar boy.'' Neil Tennant

More coffee
