Part One:

Abba - Head Over Heels: Cheesy lightweight skip track on the mainly otherwise interesting The Visitors. So fluff that it broke their string of mega-hits. The harmonies were there, the playing was as sharp as usual, but something was seriously missing. They could not fake their smiles anymore.

Adam and the Ants - Ant Rap: Points for trying, but this UK hit was not among the best ideas in the long run. Very clunky execution, and the video was Camp Overkill. Still, for being 1981, I can forgive them a little.

The Cult - Edie (Ciao, Baby): Overdone tribute to a Warhol face. The lyrics with obvious references topped it all (nice string section, though). A very small UK hit.
