To hate the song 'Dont you want me baby' by the Human League

[FutTheShuckUp]

And feel Phil Oakey in the song comes across as nothing more than a deluded arrogant stalker?

YABU

Well, it's hardly on the radio a lot at this point is it? Not exactly hard to avoid.

YABU its a fab song!

yanbu...

Isn't it on that advert for........errr nope it's gone!

It hasn't been played since 1981 has it?

Maybe '82, delightfully, as it came out November '81. So it may have played over the new year, IYSWIM.

[shocked]

YAB very U

The tart obviously used poor ol' Phil then buggered off.

....

I'm clearly too to do emoticons properly.

I loved Phil. And that was the song I had my first prolonged snog to, in a disco, in Walsall. Ah, the memories. Now I live round the corner from Phil and one of his other band mates and he can come and stalk me any time he likes :)

She is breaking up with him in the song. Overplay in the 80's killed it for me.

Sorry OP, to hijack but just to tell you that I did love Say hello, Wave goodbye, was it Softcell?

It's on the advert for doritos or nachos or something. A lot of average looking hipster wannabees (average to try to convince us it's an actual party) listening to a mariachi band.

Not quite as annoying as the model pretending to sing the Buzzcocks but up there, in the ear worm chart.

If you want weird and stalkerish from the 1980s, then it has to be "Every Breath You Take" by The Police.

Ah, see, Sue, I don't watch TV so I haven't seen the advert.

And if you want paedophilia, Don't Stand So Close To Me.

Should someone have a very serious talk with Sting?

It wasn't meant to be a single, it's the last song on (groundbreaking, iconoclastic synthpop) album Dare and was a 'throwaway' track to make up numbers. Virgin ordered Oakey et al to release it.

I study it with my A-level music students; it's a very symmetrical song in terms of structure and contains good word painting. Interesting employment of the Linn drum machine, too.

Personally, I prefer The Things That Dreams Are Made Of from the same album.

Music geek out.

I too love say hello, wave goodbye

YABU.
She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when he met her.

She did all right out of him and then dumped him!

I'm glad someone else has noticed creepy pedo sting and it's not just me.

Yanbu, it's a naff song, come on eileen and a guy works down the chip shop swears he's elvis are much better.

or hole in my bucket by nigel? off of the young ones.

or yellow? by the beefy flavoured monster munch monster

Divine Comedy national expreeeeeesssss.

YokoUhOh, I had that album and 'The Things That Dreams Are Made Of' was my favourite track.

I always thought he was meant to sound like a bitter stalker type.

YABU. It is a most excellent tune and the whole Dare album is fabulous too.
