Captain Sensible - "Happy Talk" --- Wow! You can really tell this a UK chart. "Happy Talk" was a blip in the north american video world but I don't think it made much of an impression on the music charts.

Might as well try to put Cliff Richard on the American charts.

Captain Sensible needs no introduction. Along with The Damned, where he continues to play guitar and bass to this day, he is one of the originators of what we now call “Punk Rock”. The Damned released their first record even before the Sex Pistols did. Whereas Dave Vanian was the dark, gothic influenced member of the band, Captain Sensible was the nutty one that wore the colorful clothing and pogoed around on the stage with his weird antics. His many solo records (on various labels) followed in that vein, each more weirder and wacky than the last. Of course, he ended up with a European hit back a few years ago in his hugely popular song “WOT”. Constantly on tour, don’t miss him if he is in your area soon. Meanwhile, check out these great MT releases from the Captain and go pogo your brains out!

Yeah...out of the two choices, I think I'll keep listening to ABC versus trying to expand my musical horizons.

I've heard of Phil Collins, but never heard any of his songs.. Never even heard of Dead Or Alive.

The Number 1 single was:
Men At Work - "Down Under"

The Number 1 album was:
Men At Work - "Business As Usual"

Born on 10th Feb:
1914 - Larry Adler ( renowned harmonica player )
1937 - Roberta Flack
1946 - Clifford T. Ward

-------------------------------------------------------------

I knew there was a reason I'm one of the few people who can enjoy listening to Men At Work

But, when I click to see the top album through all my birthdays, it gives me a different one as being #1 on my BIRTHday which I think is more deserving of the honor of being associated with me anyway : Eurythmics - "Touch"

My 5th birthday saw one of my favorite 80s pop songs at the top of the charts: Tiffany - "I Think We're Alone Now"

Of course, this is all in the UK, so it doesn't really apply to me
