Now That's What I Call Stuart's Favourite Music 54 - Tears For Fears (Everybody Wants to Rule the World)

Here's another song from Tears for Fears, and probably one of their most well-known tracks.  I loved this song when growing up in the 80s and it will always remind me of a great 80s comedy flick called "Real Genius" that starred a young Val Kilmer and featured the song playing over the credits at the end (and a house full of popcorn!)

The song was released in March 1985 as a single from their second studio album "Songs from the Big Chair" and peaked at number 2 on the UK charts a month later.

This song is one of the defining new-wave/synth-pop tracks of the 1980s and is one of my all-time favourite songs.

Enjoy.

Game Covers - Jack the Nipper II (Commodore 64)

The country has had enough.  It can take no more of the devilish pranks and obnoxious behaviour of darling little Jack!  Banished to Australia, our favourite little horror jumps plane (well what do you expect?) to land in deepest darkest Jungleland.  What havoc he goes on to create is limited only by your imagination.  Maybe there's something there that fancies being mugged...   bitten...  spat at or pinched.  As ever poor man and dad dutifully follow their nauseating little offspring.
