Spectral Display - It Takes A Muscle To Fall In Love

[areyoureceivingme]

Brilliant early 80s synthpop. My 7" is quite worn now!

[nicotiro]

i heard this track earlier and was BLOWN AWAY i thought it was a cover! im so dumb. DAYUM i looooovvveeeeeetttttt!!!!!!!

[jrkillared]

I LOVE ALL M.I.A SONG

[MattPopOfficial]

@jrkillared

This isn't a M.I.A song. She did a cover of it.

[rofubatf]

This version is perfect. That other version is garbage by comparison

[MattPopOfficial]

@rofubatf

Agreed :)

[messthetics]

Most of MIA's best tracks seem to be covers or largerly made up of other people's songs. She doesn't even do much to the samples..

[diskochimp]

M.I.A.'s version is "better"?? Don't be so fucking crass...

[AsellusPrimus]

The reggae-ish sound is happy, but the quiet in the song is eerie.

[tiahxxxx]

very 80s

[tiahxxxx]

PREFER MIAS VERSION CUS ITS MORE FASTER

[DrUnreal]

I had this song at the end of tape with a radio recording from the Swedish radio DJ Clabbe. Carried it with me probably for a decade and now I haven't heard it for two decades... One of my favorites when I was young.

[mattpopfavourites]

@DrUnreal

Finally a comment without a reference to that other singer's version of this song - thank you :)

[barbafant]

@DrUnreal aah.. Clabbe, one of the great swedish radio legends. Together with Nileskär and Smoke Rings, they've showed us so much music.

[wwleaf]

MIAs version is better to me.

[sid9102]

This version is clearly superior but I'm so glad she did a cover of it seeing as how I would never have heard of it if not for her cover.

[MrYurMomm]

M.I.A did a way better job this is fucking lame but i admit the lyrics are deep. big ups m>i>a

[slamboyj1]

m.i.a. really shows everybody the great music produced in the underground genre

[orvar68]

absolutely, an achingly beautiful vocal, I totally agree. Great to find it here. I also love their song You Don't Know

[pangrac1]

Amazing song. I got here thru MIA too. :)

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

@mindbender91

"Well she has millions of fans worldwide"

So does Justin Bieber.

[SuperWhitetyson]

@MomoTheBellyDancer was her music commercialy shoved down everyones throat? let me rephrase that for him. " she has millions of fans worldwide that are above age 16".

[marulpragasam]

M.I.A. cover is better.

[DeathBySitar]

I'm glad M.I.A showed me this. Sadly to say, I might have never heard it otherwise.

[palfab962]

@DeathBySitar me too !!!

[storegustaf]

I bought this single a very long time ago, 1982 to be more precise, and it was my favorite for that year. So, even if I didn't like the cover, I was glad too hear it!!! Well, someone more than me must have liked the song, as they did a cover. :)

[JochenBk]

mia is good made music.... not by the girl but the producers are very fine...

but this, löl, i like the dutchs, thats klischee :D loveley and chilled!!

5 stars

[streethassled]

Beautiful!

[rles65]

forgot all about this record; lovely to hear it again! music doesn't necessarily have to be complicated, obviously.

[rles65]

forgot all about this record; lovely to hear it again!

[genericphrase]

Yeah, I gotta say I prefer the M.I.A. version. She really brings out the reggae beat which this song suits.

[wcwashington]

wow did not know MIA did a cover... i think the MIA version remixed with this would be nice.. like the hook would be the MIA version... and the vocals the original...

[producermattpop]

@wcwashington

I think that MIA's version is pretty horrible, compared to this.

[thomasfan001]

lol I love M.I.A's cover because when put into context with the rest of the album it comes off as being sarcastic which totally works for her. :D

[NerdFighterGoesRAWR]

Is there a youtube video of MIA's version?

I can't find one anywhere.

[lilegypt37]

This was the only track I liked from MAYA. Knew it was too good to be an M.I.A song.

[withoutaporpoise]

@lilegypt37 i feel the same way breh or gurl

[Cwestlov]

@lilegypt37 Nope, sorry. Try harder.

[lloplop]

@lilegypt37 haha I like MIA, but I musy say, good one!

[marulpragasam]

@lilegypt37 FUCK YOU.

[xLordOfTheFliesx]

@lilegypt37

Seriously? Then what DO you like from MIA? Maya is incredible.

[ThePurplehex]

no thanks...I prefer the m.i.a version

[telluhowitisbro]

can anyone help with the chords for this one ?? I've got Bb, G#, ??, Eb ...

i cant figure out that other chord for the life of me helpzz!!

[barbaryfair]

I don't get why you think the title's weird. The heart is a muscle. I thought it was pretty clever. Still liked it, if a bit slow for my tastes.

[MiddagTV]

LOL. Shitty MIA already did a cover.

[sabishii247]

@MiddagTV: The only shit thing MIA has done is Paper Planes, clearly smart for covering an already nice song :)

[leerveld]

hoeveel lp cd hebben ze uitgebracht ik heb er nu 2 theo

[producermattpop]

@leerveld

Ik ken alleen de lp waar dit nummer op stond.

[goastok113]

Helemaal goed weer te horen dit , en ik ken zelfs de text nog , na al die jaren hihi

Brengt weer goede herinneringen terug.

[londonplayground]

Pria song, had het singletje

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

Can those members of Spektral Display still be contacted somewhere? I want to cover this track, but I can't find any contact information anywhere.

[mattpopfavourites]

The writer, Michel Mulders has a page on Youtube, called smm122 (Studio Michel Mulders) so you can contact him there.

[stereoloov]

@MomoTheBellyDancer

It's Been covered already.I've playing a disco rework of this for some months.

[MomoTheBellyDancer]

@stereoloov

I'll cover it better ;)

[smm122]

@MomoTheBellyDancer

[GuyOverboard]

@MomoTheBellyDancer M.I.A. wanted to cover it too :P. Great song.

[nickwiddy]

@MomoTheBellyDancer Looks like M.I.A. already beat you to the cover, unless you already knew that;) still a great song. go for it!

[palfab962]

@MomoTheBellyDancer too late dude mia nicked it lol !!

[Eadwig]
