The Go-Go’s - Our Lips Are Sealed (1982)







Punk band The Go-Go's formed in Los Angeles during the late 1970s.  Shortly after landing a record deal in 1981, they released their debut album Beauty  And The Beat, which topped the Billboard 200 for six weeks.  The Go-Go's were groundbreaking as an all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments.  However, infighting, creative differences and drug problems plagued the group and they disbanded after their third album, Talk Show.  Rhythm guitarist Jane Wiedlin later had a top 10 hit with Rush Hour but lead singer Belinda Carlisle saw the greatest solo success with the hit single Mad About You and her Heaven On Earth album.

Our Lips Our Sealed was The Go-Go's debut single.  The song refer to Wiedlin's prior relationship with Terry Hall of The Specials, who had sent her the lyrics.  They were reworked to give the song an upbeat feel.  In the music video, the girls cruise around LA in a vintage Buick convertible, stopping by Trashy Lingerie before taking an impromptu dip in a fountain as the video filmed on a very hot day.
