The lyrics were originally inspired after lead singer Philip Oakey read a photo story in a teen girls magazine. Originally conceived and recorded in the studio as a male solo, Oakey was inspired by the film A Star Is Born and decided to turn the song into a conflicting duet with one of the bands two teenage female vocalists. Susan Ann Sulley was then asked to take on the role. Up until then, she and the other female vocalist Joanne Catherall had only been assigned backing vocals Sulley says she was chosen only through luck of the draw. Musicians Jo Callis and Philip Adrian Wright created a synthesizer score to accompany the lyrics which was much harsher than the version that was actually released. Initial versions of the song were recorded but Virgin Records appointed producer Martin Rushent was unhappy with them. He and Callis remixed the track, giving it a softer, and in Oakeys opinion, poppy sound. Oakey hated the new version and thought it the weakest track on Dare, resulting in one of his infamous rows with Rushent. Oakey disliked it so much that it was relegated to the last track on side two of the then vinyl album. Before the release of Dare, three of its tracksThe Sound of the Crowd, Love Action I Believe in Love, and Open Your Hearthad already been released as successful singles. With a hit album and three hit singles in a row, Virgins chief executive Simon Draper decided to release one more single from the album before the end of 1. His choice, Dont You Want Me, instantly caused a row with Oakey who did not want another single to be released because he was convinced that the public were now sick of hearing The Human League and the choice of the poor quality filler track would almost certainly be a disaster, wrecking the groups new found popularity. Virgin were adamant that a fourth single would be released and Oakey finally agreed on the condition that a large colour poster accompany the 7 single, because he felt fans would feel ripped off by the substandard single alone. The Human League often added cryptic references to their productions and the record sleeve of Dont You Want Me featured the suffix of 1. This was a reference to The 1. Club, a restaurantbar in Sheffield. Today, the song is widely considered a classic of its era. In a retrospective review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine, senior editor for All. Music, described the song as a devastating chronicle of a frayed romance wrapped in the greatest pop hooks and production of its year. Oakey still describes it as over rated, but acknowledges his initial dismissal was misguided and claims pride in the track. Oakey is also at pains to point out another misconception that it is not a love song, but a nasty song about sexual power politics. Dont You Want Me was released in the UK on 2. Iolo System Mechanic 10 Full Version. November 1. 98. 1. The B side was Seconds another track lifted straight from the Dare album. Like previous singles, a 1.

Viewers of BBCs News at Ten were entranced last night when a glitch in its system produced over four minutes of surreal beauty. As the program began, the usual opening rush of clips from around the world accompanied by dramatic music played. A breaking news graphic flew up onscreen and then there was silence. The host, Huw Edwards, sat at his desk, patiently awaiting his cue. But the cue was not coming. Instead, the breaking news graphic came up again. B roll footage from random segments randomly played and all the while we kept seeing Edwards at his desk, deep in thought. Around the two minute mark, the camera slowly zoomed in on Edwards in a moment that felt like a climax. But no, it snapped back to a wide shot and the idle host continued to contemplate the mysteries of the universe. Paul Royall, the shows editor, tells The. Guardian that a technical system crash occurred just as the show was about to begin and a backup system had to be initialized. Another glitch occurred later on Good Morning Britain that was blamed on the system overheating. If youre wondering why that lovely slow zoom occurred, its because the BBC uses a robotic camera system. In a blog post about the cameras, the network explains the two types of cameras it uses Furios, which are fixed to a dolly and run on tracks, limiting their movement to side to side, and Shotokus, which are mounted on three wheels and can move freely across the floor. They can either be pre programmed or controlled directly by a person. For his part, Edwards came out of this looking good. He didnt get caught saying anything stupid and he didnt pick his nose. He later told Radio 4 that he realized something was up about 4. Viewers loved it, tweeting their approval with messages like, Watching Huw Edwards do nothing on BBC news is kinda absorbing, like a lava lamp. And love it they should. Watching TV personalities when they dont think theyre on the air is always fascinating. See it in full below.
