Lene Lovich : Bird Song
In September of 1979, a quite remarkable month for new music, let's not forget Detroit's Lene Lovich wowed us with her third Top 40 U.K. hit, "Bird Song". The track from Flex begins and ends with Lovich using her incredible multi-octave range to imitate a bird's song. The music video is a high concept classic that suggests Lovich is far off her rocker.
The Undertones : You've Got My Number
The Undertones also released their fifth single, "You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It)". A U.K. Top 40 hit, the song received raves from David Hepworth of Smash Hits who called it "a taut compulsive love song, resting on a guitar figure that could have been lifted from an early Buzzcocks track with Feargal Sharkey, as good a singer as you'll find anywhere, wringing the lyric for every last ounce of desperation. The number on the cover , SIR4024, refers to the Sire single's catalogue number ,not the number to Feargal's mum.
