description: "Owen Paul is a Scottish singer best known in the UK for his 1986 No. 3 hit single, \"My Favourite Waste of Time\", a cover version of a song that was originally written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Marshall Crenshaw. After releasing a couple of singles and the album As It Is, he had a falling-out with his record label, resulting in him leaving the music industry for 15 years."
