What is this Jimmy Buffett monstrosity?

"Wings of a Dove"? it's the Specials, and it's BOS4 for me.  This is a "classic" worth the name, IMHO.

Jimmy Buffett?  I have no idea, but it ain't him.  Maybe Fun Boy Three?

I meant the calypso stylings, not that it was actually Buffett. And it looks like this song (belly of a whale) has a similar style. I guess the Caribbean was popular in the 80's.

got here late, missed Red Rockers' China which would be a BOS b/c I lurved that song back then.  too bad I'm hampered by our strict voting rules here.

btw, English Beat (first?) released Can't Get Used To Losing You in 81, so I guess it charted in 83, is that what's going on here?

I rarely listen to news, but when I do, it's sponsored by Michelob.

VHM Thompson Twins. Moody (but not moldy) cheese. I have to BOS Aztec Camera. This set is nice but kind of middle of the road. No bustouts.

YAY! A  John Hughes moment...
