    "Louise" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. It was released as a single in the UK on 12 November 1984 and peaked at number thirteen in the UK Singles Chart. It was written jointly by lead singer Philip Oakey with fellow band members Jo Callis and Philip Adrian Wright. The song features a lead vocal by Oakey and female vocals by Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall, analogue synthesizers by Philip Oakey, Jo Callis, Philip Adrian Wright and Ian Burden. The producers were Chris Thomas and Hugh Padgham. Although enjoying modest success when released as a single, it appeared on Melody Maker's list of 50 top singles of 1984.

    Background

    "Louise" was the third single released from Hysteria, the Human League’s follow up album to the international multi platinum selling Dare. Like the rest of Hysteria, it was recorded during the hugely expensive and turbulent sessions by the band at AIR Studios during 1983/4. Dare producer Martin Rushent had quit earlier, after repeatedly falling out with Oakey and production had been handed to Chris Thomas and Hugh Padgham, with final finishing taking place at Town House Studios.

    Motel Eyes

    by: Rick Springfield

    Her 'Come on' was direct and strong from her question to her kiss
    She said she'd had a little much to drink, she didn't usually do this
    But she was looking for another head to scalp tonight
    And she had me right between her sights
    I turned to face her as the jukebox, clicked off playing a favorite song
    And she looked pretty in the low lit bar but something was wrong
    I saw a dull red neon sign flashing in her eyes
    It said vacancy, she had motel eyes
    They were black as the night and shone like a star
    Fueled by the light from a medicine jar
    I looked again but there was nothing there
    But ice in her eyes there's no disguising motel eyes
    She had the angles all down pat her average must be high
    And though it could have been a pleasure, I just had to say goodbye
    Though there was something wicked
    'Bout the way she flexed her thighs, she scared me with her motel eyes
    They were black as the night and shone like a star
    Fueled by the light from a medicine jar
    I looked again but there was nothing there
    But ice in her eyes there's no disguising motel eyes
    She started saying something 'bout movement versus size
    The sign kept flashing in her motel eyes
    They were black as the night and shone like a star
    Fueled by the light from a medicine jar
    I looked again but there was nothing there
    But ice in her eyes there's no disguising motel eyes
    Black as the night
