The number 4's from 1981
Please rate the following out of 10. If you don't know a song, please look it up on Youtube before voting. I'll tot the scores up at the end to see which is Havens favourite #4 of 1981. I'll probably leave it open for a few months, to make sure we get everyone's votes. n.b. Where the single is listed as a double A side, I have gone for the "lead" of the two.

almost all good scores but thrown in there the worst number 4 hit of the 1980s, worse than Orville which was intended to be a silly kid's song, whereas Teddy Bear was intended to be a serious country song.

Tight Fit had "Back To The Sixties" in the 1980s, and Aqua had "Back To the 80s" in 2009.
So when will "Back to the 00s" be out?

Probably the most exciting and most innovative year for chart pop music in the past 40+ years, but the experiments didn't quite always, immediately, pay off.
May be quasi-blasphemous to say this, but I think I prefer Snuff's version of "Do Nothing", but the dress sense of the, excellent, Specials is sublime. (Also, Imagination have never sounded more like Shakatak than on the astounding "Body Talk", and Haircut 100 have never sounded more like Modern Romance since the track here, either)
