Number 182: Alphaville - Big In Japan
I am a huge Alphaville fan. Let's get that out of the way straight off. I still buy each album Marian Gold and company release (yes, Alphaville is still around). Germany's finest New Wave outfit scored a string of hits throughout the decade of the 80s, the first of which was "Big In Japan", from their 1984 debut album Forever Young. Just listen to that driving beat and those layered analog synths. A great song that gets the #182 spot on my own personal Top 200.
Big in Japan ... that's exactly what my college girlfriend Rieko said about my schlong ... and that was before the song came out btw
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing anecdote! Well done :)
