Saturday 16th April 1983. We're staying away with relatives for the weekend. I'm in a good mood and have got the telly on down in the living room. On the Saturday morning TV on BBC1 they feature Spandau Ballet singing this,their brand new song at the time. I'd heard it on the radio once or twice and picked up on the same bit they recognised instantly at the start. I remember the same show also dropping in on the opening morning of that year's World Snooker Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield with the inimitable Hurricane Higgins starting the defence of the title he won the previous year,and the programme also featured the Human League's brand new single Keep Feeling Fascination,which I thus heard for the first time. The only thing that tempers my happy mood is my football team losing at home on the Saturday afternoon. I'm due back at college on the Monday as,a couple of weeks after Easter itself,the holidays end. Three days later,on the Tuesday,those two songs fly into the new singles chart as the highest two new entries,Spandau Ballet straight into the Top 10 and the Human League at number 16. A week later True goes straight to number 1,knocking David Bowie's Let's Dance off the top,and a week after that the Human League snuggle in behind Spandau Ballet for a week at number 2. True stays at number 1 for four weeks before relinquishing the top spot in mid-to-late May to New Edition's Candy Girl.

@@chris62tt - Roxy Music was kind of proto New Romantic though as was David Bowie - and those last 3 studio albums released after a 4 year break Manifesto, Flesh and Blood & Avalon that were released from 79 through 82 are very much in the New romantic style and somewhat different from the early to mid 70's releases which were more prog/glam. In a lot of ways Spandau Ballet follow a similar trajectory - they came out of the Blitz Kids scene and The Freeze, To Cut a Long Story Short, Chant No 1 etc are still kind of edgy but by the time you reach this point they are embracing a lot of the same stylistic choices Bryan Ferry was. I'm pretty sure Roxy Music and Ferry would have been quite happy to have been seen as relevant at the time of the new romantic era because so many of their contemporaries had struggled so badly to adapt with the Punk boom in the mid 70's and had fallen from view. I think it's a testament to Roxy Music's abilities that they were able to ride out a period that essentially killed the careers of a lot of their peers and re-emerge after the Punk era having evolved with the times.

The band's name was suggested by a friend who saw it on a wall in Berlin. It actually has a pretty dark meaning. According to Wikipedia, Spandau is a borough of Berlin and one of the landmarks is the Spandau arsenal. That arsenals Spandau machine gun inspired the slang Spandau ballet to describe dying soldiers on barbed wire in WWI, and later was applied to the appearance of Nazi war criminals hanged at the Spandau prison.

I was in grade 7 when this song came out and I was at a school dance and built up the courage to ask the prettiest girl in the school to dance. She said yes, and we slow danced to this song. One of life’s moments that I’ll never forget.

Back in the 80’s I somehow knew this instant classic would stand the test of time and that years later young people would love this song as much as we did! Btw , I bet you all know this song from being kids and seeing those Time-Life CD commercials in the 90’s , “Time-Life , the best of the 80’s, order now” 😄😄😄

“The Wedding Singer” in 1998; “Charlie’s Angels” in 2000; “Pixels” in 2015; and “Not Another Teen Movie” . (copied from google) and a bit from Sixteen Candles. Played this a lot in the 80's but featured in so many movies. 80's pop ! Definitely a vibe - cool choice !

Beautiful song. The band took their name from Spandau prison. When a criminal was killed by hanging by the neck the little death gasping motion they made at the end of the rope was jokingly called Spandau Ballet.

I heard another version. In WW2 there was a heavy machine gun called the 'Spandau gun', the heavies machine gun at that time (450-600 rounds per minute). When fired, the huge amount of bullets hitting the ground (before hitting the enemy) caused the enemy to 'dance' from one foot to the other. Now I'm confused ;-)

There is a dark meaning behind the name of the band: the town of Spandau, Germany had a famous prison/concentration camp and the "Spandau Ballet" refers the the kicks and leg spasms of a person being hanged. The term was coined during WW2.....The band took it from some graffiti they saw in a Berlin nightclub. Not sure if they knew the meaning behind it, or simply thought is sounded cool.
