[pontello3]

[Batenrouge]

Was just reading an interview with Oakey of Human League where he was saying he felt the rapid rise of Dare most likely hurt Shelley's career so I thought I'd give this Rushent production a good listen again. I do think Oakey was brutally honest and sadly right.

[MrSteveProctor]

... I used to play this when it originally came out and in fact I put Pete on for a live gig at my club in Liverpool called Cagneys in 1981 ... I was one of the very few people who did ... Great tune ! Great Artist ! Great Post !

[craggk]

Such a house feel to this, ahead of its time. All the cool new romantic/goth/punk kids used to groove to this down at Legends in Manchester on a Thursday night.

@craggk HOUSE MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG

[hekzael]

Dear Lord...haven't heard this since I was in grade 7, so, when it was released.

So hard to find this based on half remembered...."homosapien tooooooooo"

[klingklang7560]

Martin Rushent RIP

[googleboyny]

I had the 12" single of this back in the day and all my friends danced to it but none of us really paid attention to the lyrics. 

[richardhierweg]

bad music, i tell you.

[maxply]

Just found this classic mix on 12"/80s electropop - brill.

[Lieu3C4]

3:33 12WIP 6720 - Understanding (The Zodiac of Wisdom, 67= BINH, Hebrew for Understanding) of The Forces of Change (20 = Kaph, Atu X, The Wheel of Fortune of the Rota) may need to be WIPped along, but does it need dominatrices?

[aquaristic]

Oh my GOD!!!! I have been looking for this song since the 80's!!! I never forgot the words and I had it floating around my head for all this time. Thanks soooo much for posting!!!!

[eatfurrypeople]

"Homo superior in my interior" Hahahahahahahaha!

[ralucagymnast]

God this is such a fantastic song; had this 12" single all those years ago; produced by the genius Martin Rushent who produced the Human Leagues "Dare" and "Love and Dancing" albums.

[marinlaw]

man i love this song

[susiesiouxsie]

one of my favorite songs ever1

[randomfilmscrew]

awesome : )

[Staggerbaroque]

They should re-release this. It could be a rallying cry against all the assholes out there who bully gay teenagers.

[gh9448]

@Staggerbaroque Usually people like that have issues with their own sexuality-it's their way of striking back against the fear that they have that they're probably gay themselves.

[damon1717]

@Staggerbaroque I couldn't agree more,thank you for your thoughtful replies to this post.Nice to see someone with a heart AND a brain.Still far too many gay kids jumping out of windows in this STILL,VERY homophobic country.

[Staggerbaroque]

I"ve got the original vinyl album. Twenty-five years later it still rocks like a son of a bitch. Thanks for posting this.

I thought the Dance Mix was longer, I reckon you have the 7 inch there mate.

[pawnsacrifice1]

This sounds a lot like The Human League's 'Love & Dancing' album...did Martin Rushent produce it?

[berserkley]

@pawnsacrifice1 Spot on correct.

[AuldYank1]
