"Appendix: The Record Shop–Noteworthy Tracks". Yes, it's the one with Patsy Kensit-who, halfway through 'Im Not Scared', an enjoyable piece of atmospheric synth-pop, delivers some French lyrics in a deliciously good accent.

An extremely girlie sounding Patsy Kensit strides through a city full of dogs singing a beautifully mournful melody about how she's not afraid of them, first in English, and then (just to add a touch of Euro-flavour) in French. But where most Eurodisco records tend to be lyrically a bit daff and musically lightweight, this is a work of genius. William Shaw from Smash Hits felt the song "definitely bears all the hallmarks of Eurodisco - all the little insistent keyboard tunes, all the thumping bass bits, all the chattering drum machines. James Hamilton from Record Mirror wrote in his dance column, "Patsy Kensit-lisped and French-spoken lethargic Eurobeat-ish ultimately quite haunting 0- 105 + 5⁄ 6-0bpm slinker produced by the Pet Shop Boys and Phil Harding". Jerry Smith of Music Week considered that it was not surprising that "I'm not Scared" sounds like Pet Shop Boys and Phil Harding production, as the song was written and produced by them, noted "Kensit's distinctive, breathy vocal" and deemed the song a potential hit. Slant Magazine ranked the song 62nd in its "100 Greatest Dance Songs" list in 2006. Pet Shop Boys also released their own version of the song, with Neil Tennant vocals, on the album Introspective. The 12-inch "disco mix" combines the two versions into one long mix. "J'ai pas peur" is the French adaptation of "I'm Not Scared" and is included as the B-side to the 7-inch and 12-inch singles. Written by the Pet Shop Boys, the original version contains several words in French. It achieved success in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and the UK, where it was a top-10 hit. " I'm Not Scared" is a song by Patsy Kensit's British pop band Eighth Wonder, released in February 1988 as the first single from their debut album, Fearless (1988). 1988 single by Eighth Wonder, written by the Pet Shop Boys "I'm Not Scared"
