god i'm old :o/ Week Ending 3rd December 1983 10 Right By Your Side - Eurythmics Whimsical, whistly, pseudo-clapping crammed electro-belter with sexual ambiguity aplenty from Annie and Dave. 9 Only You - Flying Pickets. Please. God. No. 8 Cry Just A Little Bit - Shakin' Stevens Wales' most famous white-shoe-wearing, somersault-turning drink-driver anticipated that Tony Angelino dust-crooner bloke from Only Fools and Horses by pronouncing 'cry' with a 'w'. 7 Let's Stay Together - Tina Turner Ike's bruises disappeared, Heaven 17 were called up, and 'the world's sexiest granny' (copyright every newspaper and magazine) had her first solo hit, admirably not demeaning the Reverend's version in the process. 6 Never Never - Assembly Dummyspitting Vince Clarke's second writer's credit in the ten with this wizard one-off wattage ballad alongside an increasingly trichologically-luxuriant Feargal. 5 Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins Immaculately produced mid-tempo piano job which had Bailey doing heartfelt and Currie spoiling it by goofing around in that stupid cap. 4 Calling Your Name - Marilyn Peter "pop career on the strength of being a junkie Blitz cloakroom boy" Robinson, very male but still looking more like a woman than all transsexuals, succeeds in theatrical and cosmetic curiosity while failing spectacularly to carry a tune. 3 Say Say Say - Paul McCartney & Michael Jackson Enjoyable role-playing ditty (Macca stoic verses, Jacko elaborate choruses) a year after their last duet, with the billing order (and song quality) changing for the better. 2 Love Of The Common People - Paul Young "Ah, ah, aye-ee-aye-ee-aye-ee-aye..." BRITAIN'S NUMBER ONE 1 Uptown Girl - Billy Joel "The best example of recessive genes is Billy Joel. Millionaire rock and roll superstar who married one of the prettiest women in the world - and their little baby daughter looks like him", said Barry Amorose, and this was where we first saw the two together.

urgh... BRITAIN'S NUMBER ONE 1 Uptown Girl - Billy Joel "The best example of recessive genes is Billy Joel. Millionaire rock and roll superstar who married one of the prettiest women in the world - and their little baby daughter looks like him", said Barry Amorose, and this was where we first saw the two together. Joel and his 50s mechanics arse about in the garage, Christie comes along and they waltz off together to the chords and beat of one of the worst songs ever, even before Westlife somehow made it worse. And don't mention that obligatory sub-Can Can choreography, otherwise we'll tell your mum that you were drinking cider instead of Pepsi. |

Billy Joel's skull is a gas chamber in which music is executed. |

It's great to see that the state of popular music is so much healthier now than then. There really are so many great new bands about. Who'd have thought i'd look back and find the Thompson Twins to be the best of the bunch!... |

BUBBLING UNDER... 13 Waterfront - Simple Minds "Da-nang, da-nang, da-nang, da-nang..." 25 This Charming Man - The Smiths A jangly first outing for Mozza et al, though we assume it was the inner tube which was punctured, not the whole bicycle. 31 What Is Love - Howard Jones Tuneful, donkey-jacketed, autumn-leaf-kicking anthem from High Wycombe's most ardent user of vomit-yellow hair dye, and Moby's mad dad on mime duty. 40 The Way You Are - Tears For Fears "The hi-hat wasn't on the backbeat", apparently, according to the ultra-pretentious Rolo when he discussed this quirky, rhythmless song. Presumably this was why he left it off the Greatest Hits. |
