“Sunglasses at Night” is a hit song recorded by Canadian singer Corey Hart. It was the first single to be released off his debut album, 1984′s First Offense, and became a hit single in the United States, rising to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1984. The song is considered by many to be a classic of 1980s pop rock  and New Wave music, combining an unflagging synthesizer hook, rock guitar, obscure lyrics and a punk  undercurrent throughout the song.

The song is included in numerous hits collections of the period, especially in the U.S., but it was not as popular throughout the rest of the world at the time. Peaking at #24 in Hart’s native Canada, it was not a hit in Europe and failed to chart at all in the UK.

The original lyrics for the song were about a totalitarian society that made everyone wear their sunglasses at night. Hart altered the lyrics to be “more romantic” after his record company pushed for something deemed more marketable.

The music video reflects the original vision of a police state, with scenes of Hart in a prison cell, without sunglasses, being strong-armed by police officers and paraded past various citizens wearing their regulation shades. Near the end of the video, Hart is brought to the office of a female police officer, played by Laurie Brown, who later became the host of The NewMusic as well as a VJ on MuchMusic. There were two different versions of the video filmed.
