Well, I don't have to tell you that I connected with this song in 1986 (if any of you are familiar with my 007 Gentleman Blog). ;)
"Bizarre Love Triangle" is a single released in 1986 by the English rock band New Order. A version is included on their album Brotherhood.
Though it is one of the group's best known singles, it failed to make the Top 40 in either the United Kingdom or the United States. In the band's native England, "Bizarre Love Triangle" only reached No. 56. In the States, the song failed to chart in its original 1986 release, but its popularity has only climbed since; widespread airplay on U.S. Top 40 radio in the 1990s led to a brief, fluke appearance on the Billboard singles chart in 1995. The one country where it was a sizable chart hit was Australia, where it reached No. 5, initiating a string of five consecutive Top 20 hits.
In 2004 the song was ranked number 201 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
