You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. :angel:

 

I hope someday you will join us and the world will be as one.

I didn't know Gaskin was Barbra. I always thought La Streisand was the only Barbara without the middle A.

It should be Barbara. And, of course, the Dave Stewart is not the Eurythmics Dave Stewart.

Glad the Specials are picking up quite a few points here, I really want to see it go through to the final.

I love 'Ghost Town', it's one of my favourite songs of the 80s. This round was very strong though, I think there's only one of these so far (96 number ones) where I've liked the songs I've voted for more. I'm only really fussed with my top 8 here, but they're all fantastic songs.

Some great songs again.

The only real make-weight

 

01 Aneka “Japanese Boy”

 

And then the thoroughly dire

 

-2 Joe Dolce Music Theatre “Shaddup You Face”

 

Three great cover versions in that list.

It was hard to round up, so many great #1s that year, the only downers were Aneka, Julio Iglesias and Joe Dolce. Shaky I can take it or leave it and Prince Charming was the better of the two Adam & The Ants tracks, with the late Diana Dors in the video

+15 Soft Cell - Tainted Love

+12 The Specials - Ghost Town

+10 Dave Stewart/Barbra Gaskin - It's My Party

+08 Human League - Don't You Want Me

+06 Aneka - Japanese Boy :D

+05 The Police - Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic (But sting is a c**t!)

+04 Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up (purely for Eurovision factor!)

+03 Smokey Robinson - Being With You

+02 Queen/Bowie - Under Pressure

+01 Adam + The Ants - Stand And Deliver

 

-02 John Lennon - Imagine (sorry, but nothing is less appealing than listening to this song!)

15 - One Day In Your Life

12 - Jealous Guy

10 - Woman

08 - Ghost Town

06 - Making Your Mind Up

05 - Don't You Want Me

04 - Japanese Boy

03 - Tainted Love

02 - It's My Party

01 - Under Pressure

 

-02 - Shaddap Up Your Face - Ultravox were robbed!

 

 

 

This might be of interest to the thread; Aneka's followup "Little Lady" which is much better than "Japanese Boy" and has a mysterious quality to it. This sadly made nr 50:

 

 

Also "Ooh Shooby Doo Doo Lang" which was not released here, but a small hit in Germany. The quality of this production would make you think this was from 1992 not 1982!
