Dare by Human League is the favourite of Lib Dem MP Mark Oaten

"It changed the face of music forever and meant we never had to listen to Boney M again," he said.

Very daring, that.

Blummin school friends thought "Rivers of Babylon" and "Brown Girl" were awesome and played them all the time.

(xpost my point exactly)

Meanwhile, said Mr Oaten resigns.

No doubt, as per another currently topical Human League song, he remembers when sharing was no shame.

(OK just a few)

When the country rings the leaving bell you're lost

For one another's past
You can try (You can try)
You can try (You can try)
You can try
To tell the world the reason why

THE LEBANON (Human League)

She dreams of 1969
Before the soldiers came
The life was cheap on bread and wine
And sharing meant no shame
She is awakened by the screams
Of rockets flying from nearby
And scared she clings onto her dreams
To beat the fear that she might die

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon

Before he leaves the camp he stops
He scans the world outside
And where there used to be some shops
Is where the snipers sometimes hide
He left his home the week before
He thought hed be like the police
But now he finds he is at war
Weren't we supposed to keep the peace

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon

I must be dreaming
It can't be true
I must be dreaming
It can't be true

And who will have won
When the soldiers have gone?
From the Lebanon
The Lebanon
The Lebanon
From the Lebanon
