It was written and produced by René Moore, Angela Winbush, with additional production by Bobby Watson. It was released as Jackson’s debut single on July 7, 1982, by A&M Records. Prior to her rise to fame, the singer had no interest in pursuing a musical career.

The Mood – Don’t Stop (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

“Don’t Stop” is a song by British mew wave band from 1981 to 1984, based in York. It consisted of members John Moore, Mark James and Eric James (the latter no relation, as their real names were Mark James Fordyce and Eric James Logan).

“Don’t Stop”, released in January 1982 became a Top 10 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100; and No. 1 on the newly introduced UK dance chart. To help promote the song the band appeared on the popular UK children’s programme, Razzmatazz performing “Don’t Stop”. The Mood only released one mini-LP in the US titled “Passion In Dark Rooms”.

*Although Wikipedia and the band’s website claim “Don’t Stop” reached the US top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, I could not find the exact chart number anywhere on the internet or in any of the Joel Whitburn Billboard chart books that I own.

Devo – Peek-A-Boo! (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982

“Peek-a-Boo!” is a song by American new wave band Devo, written by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale. It appears on their fifth studio album Oh, No! It’s Devo.

According to Gerald Casale from the audio commentary for their film, The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, “Peek-a Boo! was a song about Devo’s circus-like look and the dark side of human nature, the side we try to keep secret, the side we try to deny, in this Christian world where we’re only supposed to have happy endings and only supposed to be good, and instead Devo is dealing with what evil is here in a very light-hearted manner.”

In the United States, the song reached #106 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 and #13 on the Billboard Dance chart. In Australia the “Peek-a-Boo!” peaked at #45 on ARIA Top 100.
