Best Bit-At 0.24.Alison Moyet isn’t famous for her joviality but her laughter taken from this song and sampled on the ‘Macarena’ helped it become the biggest selling song in the world in 1996.
Vince Clarke left Depeche Mode after writing one Album and three hit singles to start his next project with ex Punk Rock singer Genevieve Alison Jane Moyet.Together they recorded two Albums and had four top twenty singles.
Moyet went on to have a very successful solo career and Clarke formed his next short lived band ‘The Assembly’ before going on to be half of Erasure with Andy Bell(see best songs 700.)
As for what the lyrics to ‘Situation’ mean,-I haven’t got a clue.
‘Don’t mess around you bring me down how you get about don’t make a sound just move out.’
