It’s politically incorrect to use the term “retarded” I know, but if it weren’t, I’d use it here along with the Brit exclamation, “Brilliant!” A YouTube has reduced the lyrical content of The Human League’s 1981 hit Don’t You Want Me to just the essence:
“You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.”
Genius. Midway into the song Susan Ann Sulley does her part in the duet with Philip Oakey;
“I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar, that much is true. I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar. I guess it’s just what I must do.”
This is so profound and yet mysterious, future generations will certainly write songs about this version. Enjoy.
