47: "Shout" - Tears For Fears

Written by Roland Orzabel and Ian Stanley

Part of the UncoolTwo50 project, marking the best singles from 1977-99.

"An insidious chorus you'll find yourself singing in the most inopportune moments", said Lesley White in Smash Hits.

The second single from their album "Songs from the Big Chair" contains multitudes. Cowbells at the start, then a crunching synth note, and Roland's polytracked vocals literally bellow the title at you. It continues, the simple synthesiser pattern is set to repeat, we loop through verses and bridges, through a long guitar solo and crashing drums and always come back to this mantra-like chorus.

Roland Orzabel let us think the song was about primal scream therapy, the sort where one hollers and screeches to remove bad emotions through physical exertion. He's also let us think it's about protest, standing up and shouting for what one believes in.

Here is an exception to the rule: more is more. The three-minute edits shown on Top of the Pops are a useful snack. The five-minute single is great. The seven-minute album track, that is the pinnacle of achievement.

The classic lineup (Roland Orzabal and a kangaroo) made one further album, then split for musical differences, and reformed for the nostalgia circuit. "I don't think in twenty years' time people will be interested in Simon Le Bon," opined Roland in 1985; we'll double that, and say he's right.
