Under your thumb (Godley and Creme)


About the duo: Godley and Creme were a British rock duo formed in 1977 by Kevin Godley and Lol Creme after their departure from the rock band 10CC. In addition to making even studio albums, they directed and produced numerous music videos for artists such as Ultravox, the Police, Yes, Duran Duran, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Wang Chung. The duo split at the end of the 1980s. Godley and Creme currently have one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.

About the song: Under your thumb is a track from the 1981 album Ismism (also released as Snack Attack). This spooky song with its relentless rhythm that perfectly fits the lyrics about a ghostly encounter during a train ride, made the UK top 10. Run time 3:40.
