Frida - I Know There's something Going On

'I Know There's Something Going On' is a song recorded in 1982 by ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida).

Recording began in ABBA's Polar Music Studio, Stockholm, in February 1982. As ABBA were unofficially on a break, Lyngstad spent time on her solo project.

At the time of recording this song/album, Frida wanted to distance herself from the typical ABBA pop sound.

'I Know There's Something Going On' was written by Russ Ballard and produced by Genesis drummer & singer Phil Collins, who also played drums on the song. The back-up vocals are sung by Lyngstad herself & Collins.

The song & video were released in Autumn 1982 & became a massive hit. It hit number 1 in France, Belgium, Switzerland and Costa Rica and was a Top 10 hit throughout the whole of Europe, as well as in Australia and South Africa. In the United States, the track reached number 13. In the UK the song peaked at number 43 in September 1982.

The music video was directed by Stuart Orme and filmed at several locations in London, England in early July 1982. The video, which received heavy promotion on MTV due to the worldwide success of the song, shows Frida as a young woman in a struggling relationship. She then discovers through photos taken at a fashion shoot that her husband or lover is seeing another woman.

Kate Bush - The Dreaming

'The Dreaming' is the title song from Kate Bush's fourth studio album 'The Dreaming' and was released a single on 26 July 1982.

Bush hadn't released a single since 'Sat in Your Lap' thirteen months earlier. 'The Dreaming' made it to number 48 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song is about the destruction of Aboriginal homelands by white Australians in their quest for weapons-grade uranium.

Musical guest Rolf Harris plays the didgeridoo on the recording. Bird impersonator Percy Edwards provided sheep noises.

The original title for the track was 'The Abo Song', which unwittingly made use of a racial slur; promotional 12" copies were circulated before being recalled.

An alternate version of 'The Dreaming', entitled 'Dreamtime', was released by EMI as a single in Canada only. This version, also used as the UK single b-side, is usually referred to as an instrumental version of 'The Dreaming'. This is not strictly true in that while the track omits all the sung lead vocal lyrics it still retains most of the backing vocals such as the stretched dreamtime harmonies heard during the chorus. It is also of note that 'Dreamtime' contains both an extended intro and outro.

Anne Clark - The Sitting Room - Album

Anne Clark (born 14 May 1960, Croydon, London, England) is an English poet and songwriter.

Clark left school at the age of 16 and soon became involved with the Warehouse Theatre, an independently-financed stage for bands, that was always low on cash.

Although the theater's owners initially objected to the strange, pierced punk scene characters and their leather outfits, Anne was able to successfully arrange the program.

Bands like Siouxsie and The Banshees, Generation X, and The Damned belonged to the local scene and performed at the Warehouse in addition to besides theatre, dance, comedy and poetry projects.

In 1982, Anne Clark published her first album, The Sitting Room, with songs written by herself.

The album, like her subsequent releases are all in the spoken verse which was different for me at the time.

The album did not trouble the UK Album charts.

Tracklisting:
01 - The Sitting Room
02 - Swimming
03 - An Ordinary Life
04 - Shades
05 - Short Story - Party Mix
06 - The Power Game
07 - All We Have To Be Thankful For

Madness - Cardiac Arrest

'Cardiac Arrest' is a song by British band Madness from their third album 7.

The single spent 10 weeks in UK charts peaking at number 14.

The song was written by Chas Smash and Chris Foreman and tells a story of a workaholic who suffers a fatal heart attack on his way to work.

The song received little if any airplay, other than on the Top 40 show, on BBC Radio 1 due to deaths in the families of two DJs; this was cited as one reason for the record's disappointing chart position. It was the first Madness single since 'The Prince' not making it to the top 10.

The album version of the song ends after the second chorus with a dramatic cut to a coda representing the man's heart thudding and then stopping, however the single version replaces this with a repeat of the more optimistic first chorus, which fades out.

The music video for 'Cardiac Arrest' featured Chas Smash as a person having a heart attack and the remaining band members playing roles of people advising him not to work so hard. The video follows the single version of the song rather than the album version.

The B-side, 'In the City', was originally written by Bill Crutchfield, Chas Smash, Chris Foreman, Daisuke Inoue, Suggs, and Mike Barson for a Japanese television advertisement for Honda City cars. The various versions of the advert, including variations using 'Driving in My Car' instead of 'In the City', appear between tracks on the Divine Madness video.

In the Netherlands the single was released as a double A-side, and peaked at number 15 in the Dutch Top 40. In the US, 'Cardiac Arrest' was released on the US compilation album Madness and the B-side of their 'Our House' single.

Bucks Fizz - Bucks Fizz - Album

Bucks Fizz is the debut album by pop group Bucks Fizz, released in 1981. It features their Eurovision-winning song 'Making Your Mind Up'.

In May the follow-up single, also written and produced by Hill, was released. 'Piece of the Action' proved that Bucks Fizz were not one-hit wonders, despite the reputation of the Contest, and quickly became another worldwide hit.

The record company, RCA were keen to get an album out, and Bucks Fizz was released in late July 1981.

Recorded between promotional tours and a hectic schedule, the album featured ten pop tracks, most of them quite different to 'Making Your Mind Up', the song that had made their name.

The album was released in a glossy gatefold sleeve, depicting head and shoulders shots of the group both inside and outside. Produced and largely written by Hill, the album also became a success when it reached number 14 in the UK Album Charts.

Trackliting:
01 - Piece Of The Action
02 - Midnight Reservation
03 - It's Got To Be Love
04 - Took It To The Limit

Ronny - To Have And Have Not

Ronny used to be a Top French Model. Ronny was brought up in the grim Northern industrial area of France and left home at 14 to go to Paris.

Club entrepreneur Rusty Egan met Ronny in the Paris club Privelege and co-produced with Midge Ure her best release.

Ronny, a masculine name, is the blitz girl who loved to dress up as a boy, released her third single entitled 'To Have And Have Not'. Affecting a Germanic-tinged vocal atop an intense, melancholic widesreen production this single showed great promise.

Baked with the track 'Blue Cabaret', an Ultravox styled track it is a shame that the single did not capture the inagination of the bying public as this single did not trouble the charts.

Released by Motown in 1987, this album is an eclectic gathering of R&B music sung by Willis, with backing musicians including Booker T. Jones, Ruth Pointer and The Temptations.

Every song is a cover with the exception of 'Jackpot (Bruno's Bop)', for which Willis receives a co-writing credit with producer Robert Kraft.

The album peaked at number 28 in the UK Album Chart. The album also peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Suzanne Vega - Luka

'Luka" is a song recorded by Suzanne Vega and released as a single in 1987.

In the UK the single reached number 23 in the UK Singles Chart. However, it remains her highest-charting hit in the United States, reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

This song was one of the earliest to deal with child abuse and domestic violence. One critic said, "the 'happy' music is a metaphorical denial, making this seem beautiful and serene while discussing something terrible and devastating. It is a wonderful use of tune as a metaphor for how many abuse victims also deny their abuse, and is a profound classic".

This video was directed by Michael Patterson & Candice Reckinge. It was shot over 3 days, in New York City. The part of Luka was played by actor Jason Cerbone, who was chosen after the directors auditioned more than 90 children for the part.

Tiffany - I Think We're Alone Now

Tiffany Renee Darwish (born October 2, 1971), known popularly as Tiffany, is an American singer who charted several teen pop hits during the late 1980s. Since then, she has performed in a variety of genres, from country to dance, both in the United States and other countries.

'i Think We're Alone Now' was originally a hit in 1967 for Tommy James & The Shondells, the song was re-popularized when American singer Tiffany covered the song for her first album Tiffany (1987). Tiffany's version of the song spent two weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 (and was unusually followed on the top spot by another Tommy James & the Shondells cover, 'Mony Mony' by Billy Idol) and three weeks at number-one on the UK Singles Chart. The video was shot in a shopping mall which echoed the way her early career had been promoted. Elements of the video were filmed in the now demolished Bullring Centre in Birmingham, UK.

When George Tobin, Tiffany's manager, gave Tiffany the cassette of the original version by Tommy James & the Shondells, Tiffany hated the idea of recording a version of her own for her album mostly because she thought the song wasn't modern or hip enough. It turned out to be her biggest hit once she recorded it.

Lene Lovich - Lucky Number

Well I thought, and not for the first time, I would venture into the 70's with this next post as it is a single that I just loved.

Lene Lovich (born 30 March 1949) is an American singer based in England, who first gained attention as part of the New Wave music scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

In 1978, disc jockey and author Charlie Gillett presented her recording of 'I Think We're Alone Now', a cover version of a song originally performed by Tommy James and the Shondells, to Stiff Records boss, Dave Robinson.

Robinson immediately proposed to release it as a single on Stiff, for which Lovich and Chappell had to write and record a B-side at short notice. They came up with 'Lucky Number', which was eventually released as an A-side in 1979 and became a Top 3 hit in the UK.

OMD - Electricity

'Electricity' is the debut single of the New Wave and synthpop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.

It is notable for having been recorded numerous times. The earliest versions are live recordings by Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys' previous group The Id.

The song is one of the OMD's most popular and recognisable songs even though it never became a hit.

The three attempts at scoring a hit only achieved the lowly (but significant for the group at the time) number 99 in 1979.

'Electricity' would later appear on OMD's debut album and is regularly featured on OMD compilations.

All incarnations of the 'Electricity' single were backed by the B-side and fellow debut album track 'Almost.'

This song was inspired by The Teardrop Explodes' song 'Camera, Camera' and the Kraftwerk song 'Radioactivity.'

It was also another hit for them in the UK, where it reached number 3 on the UK Singles Chart, their biggest hit here.

It won fame in countries where Level 42 was little known, such as Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Indonesia and others.

It also became the first of five singles from their 1987 album 'Running in the Family', and it made way for the success of other singles from the album.

Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

'Don't Dream It's Over' is a pop/rock song written by Neil Finn and performed by Crowded House for their debut album of the same name.

In the UK the single made it to number 27 on the Singles Chart. However, it became the band's biggest international hit, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The lyrics are about a lover telling his partner that despite the barriers and obstacles attempting to divide them, they must persevere while continuing to dream that their union is forever.

The music video, which features some surreal special effects such as household objects – including shattering crockery – and film reels that float in the air, shows lead singer Neil Finn playing a guitar and walking through the same house during different time periods while his bandmates are either performing household chores or playing various backing instruments. It was nominated for Best Group Video, and Best Direction at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards, and earned the group a Best New Artist award.

The Cure - The Walk

'The Walk' is the name of a 1983 single by The Cure. It later appeared on their album Japanese Whispers

'The Walk' was something of a commercial breakthrough for the group with regard to their singles output, peaking at number 12 to give them their first entry into the UK top 20. It was also the first of their 17 consecutive Irish top 20 hits between 1983 and 1992.

One of the three B-sides is 'Lament', which is a re-recording of a promo-single released in late 1982 for the Flexipop magazine. Unlike the earlier version, which was garbled and experimental, the lyrics are understandable and the music has better flow.

Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)

'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)' is the first single from Whitney Houston's second studio album Whitney. It was produced by Narada Michael Walden, and written by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam of the band Boy Meets Girl, who had previously written the number-one Whitney Houston hit 'How Will I Know'. The original arrangement was more of a country tune but was transformed to make it a dance song by Walden.

The video for 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' (directed by Brian Grant) is one of Houston's best recognized music videos. In the intro of this video, Houston just finishes a performance onstage. She walks backstage, and the scene is intercut with more vivid, colorful images of her. The song then explodes into its beginning, with myriad locations and various outfits by Houston, as dancers trying to impress her as she dances around, just having a good time. The music video was in heavy rotation on music channels MTV, VH1, and BET during the song's run.

The single became one of Houston's biggest hits by making it to number 1 in the UK Singles Charts and Bliiboard Hot 100 and making number 1 in another 12 countrys including Australia and Germany.

Act - Snobbery And Decay

'Snobbery and Decay' is the first single by Act. It was released by ZTT Records in a number of formats on 5 May 1987 and reached number 60 in the UK Singles Chart.

According to Claudia Brücken, "The whole idea was based on a programme called Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. That was when we discovered how much we wanted to write about that idea and what a great introduction it would be for Thomas and me to have a duet as a first single. Two characters talking about that whole thing."

The orchestral arrangement for 'Snobbery and Decay' was made by David Bedford.

The single also features a cover of 'I'd Be Surprisingly Good for You' from the musical Evita, chosen according to Thomas Leer, because "we both dislike Andrew Lloyd Webber intensely. We wanted to do something from a musical, something that was crap and that we could make great. It also fitted the idea of the package."

Tears For Fears - Change

Released in February 1983, 'Change' was a number 3 hit for Tears for Fears in the UK.

The song also gave the band their first charting single in America when it cracked the Billboard Top 75 in August 1983.

Roland Orzabal commented about the song: 'It's not really about much. It's just one of those cheap pop lyrics.'

The real rarity on this single is the B-side. 'The Conflict' was never released on CD as far as I know. It describes a conflict between two individuals. Sung by Curt Smith, this is one of the few songs in the Tears for Fears catalogue on which he shares a writing credit.
