Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Thursday, October 29, 2009, 15:49:45 The Smiths - This Charming Man. The original doesn't seem to be on youtube though. Looking at the top singles from 1983, it wasn't the best year for music to be honest.

Post by: Lumps on Thursday, October 29, 2009, 20:23:55 Every Jam single ever released was in the charts at some point in January 1983 iirc. Didn't they re-release them all when they announced the split? I've got them somewhere.
Does that count or is it cheating? Otherwise this was still a fucking ace year. I turned 16 and left school and the charts contained stuff like: Echo & The Bunnymen - The Cutter and Never Stop Fun Boy Three - Tunnel Of Love and Our Lips Are Sealed Orange Juice - Rip It Up New Order - Blue Monday and Confusion Dexy's Midnight Runners - The Celtic Soul Brothers Imposter - Pills And Soap Elvis Costello - Everyday I Write The Book Malcolm McLaren & The Bootzilla Orchestra - Double Dutch (which I'd almost forgotten about and is FUCKING ACE) Madness - Wings Of A Dove Aztec Camera - Oblivious Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax Smiths - This Charming Man Icicle Works - Love Is A Wonderful Colour Pretenders - 2000 Miles Not to mention all the singles off Bowie's Let's Dance Ok it also brought us a shit load of Tracey Ullman singles and Black Lace's Superman but it's swings and roundabouts ain't it I'm going for this because the bassline is now lodged in my brain and because Trevor Horn is a cunting genius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt6Co7EMNCU Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983. Post by: Lumps on Thursday, October 29, 2009, 20:25:19 Oh and "Just Got Lucky" was easily the best JoBoxers single released in 1983 or in fact ever!

not my fav police song but a massive track nonetheless. at the time i was 9 and was into breakdance-electro.had this on 12inch.still at my mums somewhere i think. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6DJrZEUjjo Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3c2G9RaSxs Level 42 - The Sun goes down, i'm sure this was 83 as well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TryRvFOA7r4 Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983. Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, October 30, 2009, 00:12:51 I was 5 in 1983 so can vaguely recall anything, but browsing the Top 100 of the year, i'd have to go with Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. Amazing synths and that innit. No video, every cunt knows it.
Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983. Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, October 30, 2009, 00:15:56 I was 5 in 1983 so can vaguely recall anything, but browsing the Top 100 of the year, i'd have to go with Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. Amazing synths and that innit. No video, every cunt knows it. Being only 5, you wouldn't know better, but take it from me it was terrible. Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983. Post by: Crozzer on Friday, October 30, 2009, 00:23:09 Ok it also brought us a shit load of Tracey Ullman singles and Black Lace's Superman but it's swings and roundabouts ain't it Tracey Ullman covered Kirsty McColl, the originals are pretty good. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson was notable during that year, but who could forget the Donna Summer classic, She Works Hard for the Money. Title: Re: Favourite song from 1983. Post by: Barry Scott on Friday, October 30, 2009, 00:27:22 Being only 5, you wouldn't know better, but take it from me it was terrible. I still sort of like it. Probably childhood memories though or something. I certainly remember listening to it once, loud, in my Dad's mate's Sky Blue Renault Fuego (that i always dreamed of owning) especially with his ace after market mega stereo with graphic equaliser. :drool:On a music related note. I want to know what this is? Anyone? It sounds like, or reminds me of some Timbaland crap.
