Tracey Ullman is freakin funny. That's really the only way that I can describe it. The comedian has achieved quite a great deal over her multi-decade career - including serving as the television show by which The Simpsons were seen for the first time by the public at large. Now, in addition to everything else, Ullman also had a serious musical career, including a top ten hit in 1983. So, here's the question: what was the name of the song that broke into the U.S. top ten? Was it I'm So Excited, They Don't Know, You Broke My Heart or Three of a Kind?
The correct answer is They Don't Know, off of Ullman's You Broke My Heart in 17 Pieces. The song actually hit #2 in the UK and #8 in the US...and was a hell of a lot better than other comedian's musical efforts (ie Party All The Time by Eddie Murphy). The song itself was originally written by Kirsty MacCool.
And, what discussion of an 80s song would be complete without an exceptionally dates 80s music video? See below:
