Pet Shop Boys – Where The Streets Have No Name (Hot Tracks Series 10 Vol 3 Track 1)



Pet Shop Boys – Where The Streets Have No Name 7:01 (129 BPM)
Digital Edit & Additional Production by J. Mark Andrus

“Where the Streets Have No Name (I Can’t Take My Eyes Off You)” is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. The song is a medley of covers of U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You”, a 1967 song by Frankie Valli, though in an arrangement informed by the 1982 disco version of the song by Boystown Gang rather than the original. The song accompanied “How Can You Expect to Be Taken Seriously?”, the third single from their fourth studio album, Behaviour (1990), as a double A-side in the United Kingdom (both singles were released separately in the United States). Released in March 1991, the song became the duo’s 15th consecutive top-20 entry in the UK, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart. The band have said that they thought the guitars in the original sounded similar to a sequencer.
