The number 5'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 #5 of 1981. I'll probably leave it open for a few months (say end of December), 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.

although none of them were NM #1s but a bunch of good songs. Of the two covers of 50s songs I like the Motorhead and Girlschool collaboration more than Coast To Coast.
And Spurs aren't my team but I love Chas & Dave and it's a fun football song. And hey, back in 1981 Spurs actually won a trophy..

I reckon the release of "Joan Of Arc" cost OMD a number 1. It was not scheduled as a single (hence there not being a video), the second cut was going to be "Maid Of Orleans"; but Dindisc took advantage of OMD being hot and shoved it out there.
The problem for MoO being that JoA had got people buying the album in droves so there was less need to buy a 45 of MoO. Had MoO been the second release just after Christmas, no. 1 would have been almost guaranteed.
