BOS to the Pet Shop Boys' "Suburbia."  This is a different recording than the one I have on a cassette PSB GH comp; Neil's voice sounds faintly gruffer.

Not a huge PSB fan, and I never warmed to this one's sound.  dig the sentiment, though.. 

I checked wiki and it mentions this:

The bassline of the song is based on "Into the Groove" by Madonna.

The main musical theme of the song is greatly influenced by Chuck Mangione's 1977 jazz-pop track "Feels So Good".

Oingo Boingo's "Not My Slave" is NTM, as best as I can recall.

At least you're in time for another stellar Robert Palmer cover.  I just love that pulsing intro.

Indeed. BOS2 -- as I've said before, his taste in covers was as impeccable as his tailoring.

Robt Palmer has been all over the 10at10s lately, eh?  pretty nice.
