DESCRIPTION:
80's Enough reproduces all the songs from the 80's that you're way too cool to admit that you love. 80's Enough uses NO sampling of any kind as so many bands today use. So, on those "rare" (term used loosely) occasions that a note is shanked or vocal line is a little flat, you can bet your booty that it's all real! Come out to a show soon to see the REAL deal! 80's Enough is "Totally Choice"!
"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a song written by The Go-Go's guitarist Jane Wiedlin and The Specials and Fun Boy Three singer Terry Hall. It was first recorded by The Go-Go's as the opening track on their 1981 album Beauty and the Beat and served as their debut American single in June 1981. The single eventually reached top 5 in Australia and Canada, and top 20 in the US. Although originally written and performed with three verses, it is an abbreviated version of the song that appears on Beauty and the Beat. In 1983, Hall's band, Fun Boy Three, released their version of "Our Lips Are Sealed". Issued as a single, the track became top ten hit in the UK, and remains the best known version of "Lips" in that country --the Go-Go's version, while a hit elsewhere, only made #47 UK.
In 2000, Rolling Stone named "Our Lips Are Sealed" one of the 100 Greatest Pop Songs of all time.
