Our Lips Are Sealed
"Our Lips Are Sealed" is a song co-written by #JaneWiedlin, guitarist of #theGoGos, and #TerryHall, singer of #theSpecials and #FunBoyThree. It was first recorded by the Go-Go's as the opening track on their album #BeautyAndTheBeat (1981) and was their debut American single in June 1981. The single eventually reached the top 5 in Australia and Canada, and the top 20 in the United States. Originally written and performed with three verses.

The prompt is Asylum
Fun Boy Three, "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)" 1981
I always thought of #FunBoyThree as a side project by 3 members of second-wave #ska band The Specials, but in fact the formation of the group may have been part of #TheSpecials' breakup.
While The Specials used wit to address serious, topical subjects, Fun Boy Three burst onto the scene as off-kilter and downright wacky, from Terry Hall’s exaggerated coif to this single that announced their arrival. The song would be included on their debut eponymous album released the following year.
Perhaps in support of female empowerment, or maybe just to position themselves as a ‘boy band,’ the group associated with the all-female Go-Go's, #TerryHall cowriting “Our Lips Are Sealed" with the #GoGos' #JaneWiedlin, and later with #Bananarama, guesting prominently on each other’s releases.
But never mind all that - let’s have some lunacy.

FUN BOY THREE - THE TUNNEL OF LOVE
Released in 1983, "The Tunnel of Love" is a pop gem with melancholic undertones. It was the second single from Fun Boy Three's acclaimed album 'Waiting'. The song's bittersweet lyrics and catchy melody helped solidify the band's reputation as masters of sophisticated new wave.
Remembering the legacy of Terry Hall on his birthday. #terryhall #thespecials #funboythree #thecolourfield #vegas
I really like #NightClub, and am listening to their just-released new album Masochist this morning, which includes a cover of #FunBoyThree's "The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum". It's good, but for my money, the best version of that song remains #Collide's cover.

Fun Boy Three with Bananarama - It Ain’t What You Do
WIKI
The original jazz tune was transformed into a pop song with ska elements in 1982. With the title slightly altered to "It Ain't What You Do....", it was recorded by Fun Boy Three and Bananarama, and was included on the former's self-titled debut album, but it was not available on a Bananarama album until 1988
I'm still in northern hemisphere and late to the party - a massive hit for the Go Gos the year I left school - it was a few years later I heard the parallel version which has its own thing going on.. we play a version in our #AgedRockBand which confuses everyone
