ABC

Artist: ABC

LP: 7" single
Song: "Poison Arrow"

[ listen ]

ABC is one of my favorite bands of the 1980s. "Poison Arrow" went to #25 on the US pop charts in the spring of 1983 when it was released on the heels of their first American hit, "The Look of Love," which peaked at #18 at the start of the same year. 

"Who broke my heart? You did, you did"..."Cupid, cupid"..."Shoot that poison arrow to my ha-ha-heart"...I love this song, but it really is ridiculous. Listening to it now makes me realize how completely I've given up on cupid, poison arrows, right combinations, and all the rest of it. Thank god. But now I've basically ended up like Blanche DuBois, wandering the streets and depending upon the kindness of strangers.
