The Human League "Don't You Want Me" dropped in 1981 and the song quickly came to define the sound of synth pop in the early eighties. The song was huge. The chorus is super catchy. The stalker creepiness is balanced by the rebuttal thankfully. She owns the song by the end and we knew it back then too. The success of this song paved the way for other synth pop hits back when. But the underrated synth pop bop of those years, in my view, is still Yazoo "Nobody's Diary". Alison Moyet's vocals wonderfully complement Vince Clarke's synths on that song. Check out the album version when you can because the audio on the MTV video of it is horrible.

"Don't You Want Me" is a single by British synthpop group the Human League (credited on the cover as The Human League 100). It was released on 27 November 1981 as the fourth single from their third studio album Dare (1981). The band's best known and most commercially successful song, it was the biggest selling UK single of 1981,[2] that year's Christmas number one, and has since sold over 1,560,000 copies in the UK, making it the 23rd-most successful single in UK Singles Chart history.[3] It topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the US on 3 July 1982, where it stayed for three weeks. In November 1983, Rolling Stone named it the "breakthrough song" of the Second British Invasion of the US.[4] In 2015, the song was voted by the British public as the nation's seventh-favourite 1980s number one in a poll for ITV.[5]

Very good reaction. This song was meant to be about a man and a woman's power-politics. You rightly sensed it. The irony of this that the songwriter and lead singer (Philip Oakey) and the female members (Susan Sulley and Joanne Cathrall) are the best of friends in real life and still function to this day as a unit. They share a deep bond and friendship. This song is not autobiographical but Phil took inspiration from something that was in a magazine. He almost paraphrased the lyric from that story. :-)

You can look at this song from two points of view. 1. Her point of view - I was working a shitty job, but I already had huge dreams of what I wanted to do with my life, why do you think you had anything to do with it. Now that I am here, I want to experience all that comes with it. 2. His point of view - You were at that shitty job and I fell in love with you. You told me your dreams and I realized that if you had to spend all your time struggling just to make ends meet, then you would have no time to attain those dreams. I made it so you didn't have to do anything but focus on making it big and even used some of my contacts to help you along. Now that you have your dream, you are just tossing me to the side and I feel used.

You want to know what's funny - I just finished watching your reaction to "HOOK" by Blue's Traveller; in which you spend a great deal of time discussing whether or not the hook of a song is all that people really pay attention to. Then @5:11 in this video, Asia laughs and says "I've heard this before I recognize - but ONLY THE HOOK." I call that serendipitous validation!

It _is_ a creepy lyric. For what it's worth, Philip Oakey (the lead singer) has been in relationships with both the young ladies you see in the vid, and they still all get along just fine, after 40+ years together. In other words, he's not at all a predator like the song character suggests. He's just a really, really good singer. :^}

I wish there were more Human League reaction on youtube, things like Open Your Heart, Keep Feeling Fascination, Sound of the Crowd,The Lebanon, that one is a rock track. Then there is the original lineup, things like Dignity of Labour, Circus of Death, Toyota City, etc.

Great classic! Thanks for reacting to this one. Other suggestions: Keep Feeling Fascination, The Lebanon, Human, Mirror Man. Also, John Farnham--You're The Voice would be awesome. He's a great singer from Australia. Thanks! If you'd like to listen to a classic 80's bop here's one from 1982: Animotion--Obsession. I think they played the hook of this song in a commercial or two recently. Someone made a suggestion of playing Duran Duran--I'd go with either Rio, The Reflex, Hungry Like The Wolf or Electric Barbarella. If you want something weird and scary: Hazel O'Connor - Eighth Day.
