"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? (1996). 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]
Music video
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. Behind her is a video wall consisting of thirty-six screens. Dennis' disembodied lips fill up these screens, as they, too, sing the song.[2]
