The original "Perfect Day" is just immaculate. This is not the original, but I wouldn't say that it was a bad listen, either. Probably the one song from their covers album that I didn't hate or dislike.

That last song was the last we'll hear from Thank You...up next will be a song that will clear out its album on this rankdown as well...another 2 top tens will go by the wayside along with two bottom tens (which will clear that poster's bottom ten)

18. Perfect Day Wow. I forgot I still had this one in here? How did this make it so high with not even one top 10 ranking? Anyway, I never found anything special about this one. To ballady. Even for me.

And for tonight's final reveal, we lose a top ten rank, but amazingly, for the very 1st time in this rankdown, there are NO BOTTOM TENS here...so, if you're still waiting to clear your bottom dwellers, you'll have to wait until tomorrow (or perhaps next week)

Well, James...you helped to punt "All She Wants Is", and now, you've helped in trying to push "Hold Back the Rain" up higher.
I see you.

Tomorrow we will lose THREE #1 rankings...& TWO of them are for the same song! There will be two more fairly high standard deviations revealed...5 people will finally clear their bottom tens, which means 2 unlucky posters will carry a bottom then into our top ten songs
I want you all to predict the top 10 (in order if you want)...because we are getting very close to it.

17. Pressure Off As most of you know, this was a #1 song on my personal chart for 6 weeks. I really loved it. I'm pleasantly surprised it made it this high.

20. Careless memories (24): good 80s memories! Thought I was gonna rank it higher, but it just wasn't as strong as I thought it was 19. Wild boys (1): WHAAAATTT?!!!! This is an unfortunate surprise I've loved this song since it was released. One of the first 45 RPMs I remember buying. An 80s favorite of mine and the song that made me a DD fan. Epic instrumentation, structure, vocals, etc. I knew this wasn't gonna be #1 but I assumed it'd at least be top 10. Disappointment 18. Perfect Day (15): good to see this making top 20. A great cover! 17. Pressure off (17): yaaay! This should've been a comeback hit for them! 16. Hold back the rain (29): hard to rank this one, it fluctuated within my 20s.

16. Hold Back The Rain very nice showing. I always considered this to be a double A single. Great song. The fact that you got two of the biggest 80's New Wave freaks putting this at #26, shows what tough list of songs we had to rank.

Wow I'm surprised Wild Boys of all things had the highest SD. I underranked it a bit in retrospect, but I'm fine with it getting out here.

Some Like It Hot - Power Station This is such a great song. I know this was a one time project, but I would have loved for them two release a another album before the 80's had ended. Robert Palmer just didn't sound the same on that "Living In Fear" followup album.

well if you add up all of the rankings you get 280 & then since there are 12 of us you take 12*51 (612) & then subtract out the sum of the rankings & you get 332 pts. That's how i did it for all of the songs. Then i sorted by points (most to least) & this was 16th. You will notice that this song had no bottom 10 rankings (most of the songs had at least one, some multiple), so that helped it.

Is my 14 still alive? Because it could be mine. I like "Electric Barbarella", but I mainly like it because of the movie being the inspiration for the band's name more than anything else.

happy P-P-P-P-PERFECT RANKING to me! Is There Something I Should Know? (349 pts)Album: (well, that's a long story - see below) Released: May 1983 Originally released as an orphan single. This song was later added to Seven & The Ragged Tiger in the UK where this single was certified Gold. And, in the US it was added to the reissue/North American release of their debut Duran Duran album. So, in the US, DD had FIVE Top20 hits from THREE different albums in a single year (1983) - I doubt this has ever happened before or since (but if so, let me know because i'm a sucker for obscure chart trivia like this). #4 US Pop #3 US Rock #34 US Dance #1 UK #2 Ireland & Finland #3 Canada #4 Australia #5 NZ #16 Belgium #24 Netherlands #28 Germany #29 Italy Mirago : 3 Doc Indie Party Rock : 7 mamooshka : 12 Glove Slap : 13 Troy : 14 Juanca : 16 Red : 16 JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME : 20 maine : 24 peacebone : 41 @cagedjuggalo : 47 rainie : 50 watchers: Billie Leo ✔ @humanshazam
