I think Waiting is a hugely under-rated album and I was listening to it yesterday (it still has the impact on me it had 30 years ago!)<br /><br />Our lips are sealed is one of my favourite tunes ever, it resonated with me during a split with my girlfriend and still leaves shivers down my spine whenever I hear it. Terry Hall is a legend - downbeat but so spot on! I only heard the go go's version for the first time a few years back but it's a really good version too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-49690697475539129932012-10-07T18:46:45.082-04:002012-10-07T18:46:45.082-04:00Hi all, can anyone tell me who the all girl backin...Hi all, can anyone tell me who the all girl backing band were on there Fun Boy three version of Our lips are sealed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-46350014000059816832011-11-24T01:28:17.587-05:002011-11-24T01:28:17.587-05:00the movie is called "the diary of a lost girl...the movie is called "the diary of a lost girl"(1929)..based on a book by maragarete böhmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-63980485599834325452011-03-04T11:50:31.777-05:002011-03-04T11:50:31.777-05:00Great story of "Behind the Music".

The Go-Go's version was all sexy, Let the Good Times Roll, New Wave made by attractive California girls (I wondered where could I meet young ladies like this in Yonkers?!?!), whereas the FB3 take on it was gray, depressed (both in terms of the economy and what was going on in Terry's head, as it turns out), paranoid No Future Thatcherite England. <br /><br />Didn't know that Hall and Wiedlin had an affair, but it makes complete sense. I knew the Go-Go's had performed backup vocals on The Specials' "More Specials," so I assumed that they had struck up a collaborative friendship or something that led to this tune...Steve from Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074565580429334218noreply@blogger.com
