“Biggest hit, and the longer album version (5m 43s) of second single is up next – yes, tay-tay-tay-tay tuh-tuh-tuhtuhtuh tay-tay take or leave it, it’s Respectable. This single version of this song is absolutely flawless – it’s so catchy in both verse and chorus, and it’s perfectly understandably a staple of any 80s compilation. The lyrics, vocal samples, and sheer pace of this song – including the cackling laugh, make this one of the most memorable musical moments of the 1980s. Unsurprisingly, it gave them their one and only #1. This album version tries a few different vocal and musical approaches that don’t quite match the quality of the single edit.”
