Fun Boy Three – Our Lips Are Sealed (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

“Our Lips Are Sealed” is a song co-written by Jane Wiedlin, guitarist for The Go-Go’s, and Terry Hall, singer for The Specials and Fun Boy Three.

It was first recorded by The Go-Go’s as the opening track on their album Beauty and the Beat (1981) and was their debut American single in June 1981.

The following year, co-writer Terry Hall re-recorded the song with his own band, Fun Boy Three. It was included on their second album Waiting and reached number seven on the UK Singles Chart and was the last single to chart in the UK, before their split later in 1983. Backing vocals were provided by Mo-dettes drummer June Miles-Kingston, who also played drums on the single and the Waiting LP.
