The most perfect pop song is Wham,Edge of Heaven.

I literally tried to learn Norwegian when I was 13 for this guy. But it wasn't to be 🤣😭

Seriously though they have some wonderful songs. My favourite is Summer moved on ❤️

i agree it’s not perfect because the words don’t make any sense to me.

I love it but prefer The Sun Always Shines on TV.

Completely agree.

LoopyGremlin · 07/02/2024 17:34

My absolute fave 🩷

Yes very well constructed

reminds me of beat surrender -similar vibe

NeverDropYourMooncup · 07/02/2024 17:40

I'll see your Morten Harket and raise you Andy Bell.

A Little Respect.

Crikeyalmighty · 07/02/2024 17:41

I love it- my pick is a toss up between prefab sprouts- when love breaks down , 10ccs I'm mandy fly me and the Beatles In My life--. (and I work in that industry so know a perfect song when I hear one)!

bakedpotatoforlunch · 07/02/2024 17:43

It's a good song and takes me back to happy days of my youth. Our kids, young adults now, really like it.

My main issue is I've never understood the words as Morton is singing them or what they mean! 🤔

bakedpotatoforlunch · 07/02/2024 17:44

Typo - Morten!

slavetothekittens · 07/02/2024 17:50

Great song and video.....but......Sixteen Again by Buzzcocks is the perfect pop song.

Raspberrymoon49 · 07/02/2024 18:02

Sun Always Shines is way superior IMO

Abhannmor · 07/02/2024 18:28

It is wonderful. And so is the video. Its all very subjective. Eg Paul McCartney said God Only Knows by the Beach Boys was the perfect pop song. Maybe he is right too. But Waterloo Sunset is the one for me.

Naptrappedmummy · 07/02/2024 18:29

Agreed.

That and Together In Electric Dreams.

eandz13 · 07/02/2024 18:34

Agreed.

That and Together In Electric Dreams.

Ooh yeah! I agree!

Abhannmor · 07/02/2024 18:34

Together in Electric Dreams ! Yeah. Some songs just lift you up.

BlindurErBóklausMaður · 07/02/2024 18:36

The Whole of the Moon just pips Aha tbh, but 1985 was a splendid year.

It lifted me up until I watched Its a Sin and now it reminds me of Richie 😢

PSEnny · 07/02/2024 18:40

It’s great as is A Little Respect. I’d find it hard to pick my fave from these two.

A Little Respect is definitely the best pop song of all time. No question.

That's in my top 10 of all time. The version with the radio orchestra ❤️
