So, this question, in some form or another, has popped up multiple times.

And, I figured, why not ask those great minds at the DU about it and get their thoughts?



Ladies and Gentlemen...

The Art of Noise...

Now, to the question...

In your opinion, what percentage of the population born after 1983 could attribute their existence to this song?

(I put it at around 30%, which sounds high but back in the day, this tune was like magic...)

1. Never heard it before

...and I only lasted 15 seconds.

2. Almost zero percent

My cohort and slightly younger were not procreating to this recording.

3. P.S. It isn' t quite up there with Ravel' s Bolero.

4. Don't Know, But 30% Seems Preposterously High

It would have to be an epically big hit for 30% of people to have heard. It was not a megahit.
Now, 100% of those would have it motivate those actions. 100%? Nah.

5. Oh dear.

My libido perished at 1:42, and my eggs would surely have turned to dust in 1983. BTW, I need to thank whoever posted Morning Dew.

6. I see. Never mind then. And thanks. (n/t)
