"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a song co-written by #JaneWiedlin, guitarist of #theGoGos, and #TerryHall, singer of #theSpecials and #FunBoyThree. It was first recorded by the Go-Go's as the opening track on their album #BeautyAndTheBeat (1981) and was their debut American single in June 1981. The single eventually reached the top 5 in Australia and Canada, and the top 20 in the United States. Originally written and performed with three verses.

The prompt is Asylum

Fun Boy Three, "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)" 1981

I always thought of #FunBoyThree as a side project by 3 members of second-wave #ska band The Specials, but in fact the formation of the group may have been part of #TheSpecials' breakup.

While The Specials used wit to address serious, topical subjects, Fun Boy Three burst onto the scene as off-kilter and downright wacky, from Terry Hall’s exaggerated coif to this single that announced their arrival. The song would be included on their debut eponymous album released the following year.

Perhaps in support of female empowerment, or maybe just to position themselves as a ‘boy band,’ the group associated with the all-female Go-Go's, #TerryHall cowriting “Our Lips Are Sealed" with the #GoGos' #JaneWiedlin, and later with #Bananarama, guesting prominently on each other’s releases.

But never mind all that - let’s have some lunacy.

Song of the Day - No 495

FUN BOY THREE - THE TUNNEL OF LOVE

Released in 1983, "The Tunnel of Love" is a pop gem with melancholic undertones. It was the second single from Fun Boy Three's acclaimed album 'Waiting'. The song's bittersweet lyrics and catchy melody helped solidify the band's reputation as masters of sophisticated new wave.
