Download   This one’s listed on the top 20 “Happy Song” list, so of course we have to feature it since we’re all so happy this month.

“Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” was written by the British duo Wham and is about the dumbest song ever recorded.  I mean, lyrics like “wake me up before you go-go, don’t leave me hanging on like a yo-yo” have no redeeming social value whatsoever.  I’ve always said, if you have to use “yo-yo” to rhyme with something, you need to start over and write a better song.  Plus, I think they stole the chorus from the song “Heat Wave”.

But, what do I know?  In 1984, it was a number one hit in both the United Kingdom and the United States.  If you insist on doing this piece of nonsense, it’s on the Pop/Rock list.  As Dick Clark always said, it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it.
