Let's Dance/David Bowie
Every Breath You Take/Police Very slim pickings. I rememeber 1983 as the year I started going off chart music and got into indie. Oh, and 1983 also featured possibly the worst no.1 of all time in UB40's Red Red Wine. That song makes me want to commit acts of extreme violence on small, defenceless furry animals. And I'm a pacifist. |
