Yes "Owner Of A Lonely Heart"
Only good thing about this song is the title on the LSJUMB tenor sax music: "Owner of a Boring Part".

A thoroughly underwhelming set. Should have guessed, after yesterday's above-average effort.
Let's get right to it.

 ::) @ AW's comment about Tokyo Disney.  Normally I wouldn't get too offended about stupid comments but this was from the same person who cried racism on Twitch saying the spelling bee champion should win for spelling her (Indian) name.

I completely agree.  It's all the more disappointing because, by my estimation, 1983 marks
the approximate peak of New Wave.  This should have been at least a good set, and could
have been a great one.  It takes a certain talent -- or perhaps lack of it -- to take such a
notable year and produce such a lackluster, LN-y collection.
