Way Back Wednesday: Human League



Talking about Men At Work hitting the road with Human League last week made me think of my all-time favorite song by Human League.  It's not "Fascination" or "Don't You Want Me."  In fact, it's not a song that most people have probably heard, even though it's from their biggest hit Dare.  The DJ used to play "Seconds" at Club Park Avenue when I was in college and it was one of my favorites.  It could probably go down as the happiest sounding song about the JFK assassination that has ever existed.  For me it goes down as being in the long list of Jeannie-Emo songs.  I listen to it and am transported back in time to the early 90's and all of the shenanigans that ensued: my friend Gidget driving us around all night going from party to party, using her leg to guide the steering wheel, coming home with sludge all over the bottom of my Laura Ashley dress that we all thought was so cool to wear to Goth night and being at parties on Columbia Drive doing a lot of unmentionable things.  Ahhh...those were the days.
