        Love that song. But I wouldn't send it to a 13 year old.

          That's fair, though there are plenty of songs out there that are worse off than a song about wanting someone. It's not explicit, just a love song.

            Actually, it's not a band/pop song, It's a musical number from 'Chess' an 80s cold war inspired musical. Murray Head just happened to perform/record it.

              Week 4 - What you Need - INXS

              Asked for 1-10 ratings from everyone. Most of the crowd are generous voters. Still trying to get across that I need honest feedback.
              Bro - 10! I love this song. Best INXS song! (I disagree, but I felt it was the most accessable)
              SIL - 10!
              Nephew - "It's a straight 10!"
              Niece - 8 "I liked how the video looked and the song was good too"

                    Well, it was certainly a top 40 hit, and I'm not aware of any other Murray Head hit singles. but I will defer to your judgement

                      He was fantastic as Judas Iscariot in the original London production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

                        Actually, he also had a top 10 hit with "Superstar" (from the show "Jesus Christ Superstar") in 1972. He's a Broadway performer and those two were from their official soundtracks.

                          What I was getting at is that I don't consider Broadway/Professional musical theatre actors 'pop stars' so not in the same category of 'one-hit wonder' singer/songwriters.

                                Apparently, this was one of the 5 CDs SIL grew up with, so she was a fan. No other feedback received.​
