In the same vein as Ghost Town, UB40’s One in Ten looks at similar urban problems in Birmingham, which would neatly segue into Pass the Dutchie by Musical Youth – an interesting song to explore in the way that it made its child bandmates TV, radio and magazine stars overnight with a sudden and ubiquitous exposure that is very comparable to viral YouTube sensations today. Or the overt use of occult imagery and rousing music during the London 2012 Olympics and Madonna's 2013 Super Bowl half time performance appearing in the regalia of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna-Ishtar, Madonna was quoted as saying afterwards in an interview to explain the ideas behind the performance as "The Super Bowl is kind of like the Holy of Holies in America.

It’s a Sin made great use of a soundtrack with songs such as Smalltown Boy, Who Wants to Live Forever and Oh L’Amour to transport viewers who remember being gay in the 1980s back to that mental place of frisson and fear.
