Number 57: Berlin - Masquerade

The final single released from their 1983 Pleasure Victim LP, "Masquerade" is the second of three Berlin songs on my Top 200. The lyrics seem to tell an eerie tale of vampires giving up their humanity to join the ranks of the undead. At least, that's what I like to think the song is about. Who knows? It's a great track any way you slice it and takes the #57 spot on this list.

Here's a live performance of "Masquerade" from 1983.

    Could also be about the February 1977 issue of Penthouse, where the most bangable lady of New Wave appeared masquerading as a brunette named Betsy Harris !
