"Wind It Up" by Thompson Twins

The Thompson Twins were British synth-pop pioneers in the 80s. No one in the group were twins nor named Thompson--the name originates from a comic strip called The Adventures of Tintin.

Thompson Twins scored big in 1984 after a couple of minor hits like "Lies" (#30) and "Love On Your Side" (#45) started to attract attention. "Hold Me Now" would become their biggest hit, peaking at #3. They returned to the Top 10 in 1985-6 with "Lay Your Hands On Me" and "King For A Day," which reached #6 and #8, respectively. By the end of the decade, changing musical landscapes made it hard for the Thompson Twins to maintain their presence on radio, and "Sugar Daddy," which stalled at #28, became their last chart appearance.

In 1991, the band began to retool their sound to fit the club scene. Their final album, "Queer," failed to land a single in the US, but "Wind It Up" is a highlight worth a spin. Remaining band members changed their name to Babble in 1993, but that didn't help get them back on the charts.
