"Our Lips are Sealed" is probably my all-time favorite track from the Go-Go's. And it was their opening track on their first album, Beauty and the Beat. Here's a link to the end of the song that night (and into "We Got the Beat") • The Go-Go's "We Got th... . The baseline (go Kathy!), lead and rhythm guitars, beat, lead vocals, harmonies, and bridge (go Jane!), are all great. Jane had an affair with Terry Hall of Fun Boy Three and this was their music baby. They should've made some more music babies! Rolling Stone & MTV listed this song 57th on their list of all-time best power pop songs, and in their top 500 songs all time.

And my crush on Belinda continued into her solo career, as her vocal ability continued to grow.
The Go-Go's sounded good live. Unfortunately Gina Shock had some sort of injury (wrist I think) and wasn't able to drum that night so they arranged for Clem Burke of Blondie to fill in and he did great and blended in very well with the band.

Enjoy.
