First is a masterpiece of Sci Fi pop, a small but wonderful genre of which Numan's Replicas is of course the pinnacle.

It really is a thing of wonder.
Blue Zoo and A Flock Of Seagulls two years too late!
Also, did anyone ever get Blue Zoo and CaVa CaVa mixed-up?
No? Just me then

'I Ran' peaked at No.43 in April '82.
skipped the 4 November 1982 #TOTP, presented by Mike Smith. Here’s an explanation of why:

A Flock Of Seagulls - the name was also mentioned in Pulp Fiction just before the Brit guy gets killed on the couch! I'm sure Tarantino had the name of this group in mind when he wrote that line...

Oh shame, no wonder I didn't hear it till the Grand Theft Auto sound track.
Good song from Donna Summer.

I suspect most won't have heard of them. I bought 'Where's Romeo' though.
Nice little pop song.

I'd put John Foxx's "Metamatic" at the top of that list but agree that Numan deserves a close 2nd place
Thanks for that, Straker.
I like the fact the first comment is:
Paul: “This is just absolutely ridiculous and an insult to the fans.”
Great production from the mighty Quincy Jones on this Donna Summer record. She was lucky with producers and then she met Pete Waterman! 
Mmm, wide spread praise for this I see to which I will add a very definite nod of agreement. Great song!!

Love JF but Me! I disconnect from you is just peerless for me.
Some great soul & r&b singers tonight; Dionne Warwick, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye and Donna Summer.
