Zo. Dit is revenge nummer 1. Nipt, maar toch…

I don't have to sell my soul
He's already in me
I don't need to sell my soul
He's already in me

I want to be adored
I want to be adored

Prince in de top 10 en in de top 20 en zag ik daar ook Michael Jackson's Thriller? Kijk, zo hebben we een aardige mix in de top 20!

Ik heb er 6 in de top 5. Baas boven baas

Bazen baas.

En Joy Division trekt de langste neus. Talking Heads op 11 pffff

Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'

In arenas he kills for a prize,
Wins a minute to add to his life.
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more,
Pray to God, make it quick, watch him fall.

This is the way, step inside.

Dat heeft hier niemand verhinderd...

En dan ook nog goed voorspellen!

1. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (1986) - de nr ]2 van dat jaar.......

Het zou toch niet het tweede decennium zijn met Joy Division aan kop. Scheelde niet veel, maar The Smiths haalde de eindstreep extaltisch als eerste. En liet Talk Talk deze keer maar lullen. En dit ondanks geduchte concurrentie van The Smiths.


And if a double-decker bus 
Crashes into us 
To die by your side 
Is such a heavenly way to die 
And if a ten-ton truck 
Kills the both of us 
To die by your side 
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine

Mega bedankt en applaus voor zaaf!!
