"Way Down Now" by World Party

After leaving The Waterboys in 1986, British singer and multi-instrumentalist Karl Wallinger began performing as World Party. World Party has obtained a single chart entry in the US that dates back to 1987 when "Ship Of Fools (Save Me From Tomorrow)" peaked at #27.

Trying to ride this wave of success into the 90s was difficult, although World Party remained a favorite at college radio. One of the songs that should have gotten more attention was "Way Down Now," from the 1990 record, "Goodbye Jumbo."

In the early days, World Party featured Sinead O'Connor on a couple tracks, and "She's The One," featured on 1997's "Egyptology," was covered by Robbie Williams.
