I love this tune. It didn't become big in the States until the summer of 1982.

On this day in 1981, The Human League released the single Don't You Want Me from the Dare album. It was the 1981 Christmas No. 1 in the UK.

The tragedy of growing up in the 80’s is you didn’t realize at the time how awesome it was, and when you finally do it’s already over.

If you don’t like 80’s music, you don’t know good music.

It's exactly the same tune, but I like this video better. The comments are more informative too.

The Human League are an English electropop/synth-pop band formed in Sheffield in 1977. Initially an experimental electronic outfit, the group signed to Virgin Records in 1979 and later attained widespread commercial success with their third album Dare in 1981. The album contained four hit singles, including the UK/US number one hit "Don't You Want Me." The band received the Brit Award for Best British Breakthrough Act in 1982. Further hits followed throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, including "Mirror Man," " (Keep Feeling) Fascination, " "The Lebanon," "Human" (a US No. 1) and "Tell Me When."
The only constant band member since 1977 has been lead singer and songwriter Philip Oakey. Keyboard players Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh both left the band in 1980 to form Heaven 17. Under Oakey's leadership, the Human League then evolved into a commercially successful New Pop band with a new line-up including female vocalists Joanne Catherall and Susan Ann Sulley. Since the mid-1990s, the band has essentially been a trio of Oakey, Catherall and Sulley with various sidemen.
This single 'Don't You Want Me' reached #5 in the Dutch Top 40 on 30 January 1982.

1. My Sister FLIPPED Over This Song

She was a sophomore in HS. I'm 11 years older and in a band, so she's insisting we need to do this song, given we had both a guy (me) & woman lead singers.
Alas, that band had hit the wall. I quit, but she didn't know I had enough.
So, I could never do it for her.

2. I think that Broken Peach does a cover version that is comparable to the original.
