"West End Pad" is a song by British dance-pop singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis, released in 1996 by Polydor as the first single from her third album, Am I the Kinda Girl?
It was co-written by Dennis and reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1996.
Daniel Booth from Melody Maker wrote, "It is a summery delight, with some wonderfully audacious lyrics dismissing the luxuries of life for the simple pleasure of a love life: I tried a West End pad and a classic car/My favourite drink in my favourite car/A few close friends and a movie star..."[1] A promotional video was filmed for the song.
It begins with Dennis racing back and forth, setting up the microphone, as she prepares to sing the song.
Dennis' disembodied lips fill up these screens, as they, too, sing the song.
