The Call of the Wendigo wrote:The Pretenders - Hymn to Her.

That's a great song. For some reason, I knew the title and knew the actual song, but I didn't realise the two were the same song, if that makes sense.

I've been singing the chorus to myself on and off since I saw it at the weekend. happy

I always think this is an even older song, with a mid 80s dance beat put to it. I've never found out if this is actually the case.

I absolutely adore this song - I think it's one of the best album openers in the history of album openers.

Is this House Music? It's just noise.

"It was also the first UK number one single to achieve the majority of its sales on the 12" format. Under the chart rules in place at the time, the 12" single should not have counted toward "Jack Your Body"'s chart position as its running time exceeded the then-current 25-minute limit. The rule was not enforced since the running time was not brought to the chart compilers' attention until the record was already at number one. "
