16 Mar '09 - 161 W - + 12 - 16 Kylie Won't Sing Pet Shop Boys...

So they'll sing it themselves!

According to the BBC...



When the Pet Shop Boys wrote tracks for Kylie Minogue a couple of years ago, they did not get so much as a "thanks but no thanks".

"We never heard anything back," explains Neil Tennant. "I think every songwriter in London wrote songs for Kylie's last album.

"When we were on tour, we had two male backing singers and both had submitted songs for Kylie's album as well. They never heard anything either."

Chris Lowe, Tennant's partner in the durable pop duo, adds flatly: "We won't be doing it again."

They did not know it at the time, but being blanked by Kylie was a blessing in disguise.

The Boys kept one of her songs for themselves, and the process of penning potential hits for Kylie inspired them to write some of their most poptastic material of recent years.
