The next song on the list of underrated 80s classics is ‘Our Lips are Sealed,’ the first American single by New Wave/pop band The Go-Go’s. This was the first track and lead-off single of Beauty and the Beat, the band’s first and most successful album.
‘Our Lips are Sealed’ reached #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 the same year ‘We Got the Beat’ made it to #2. Today, ‘We Got the Beat’ is the most-streamed Go-Go’s song, with ‘Our Lips are Sealed’ a bit below it. Neither receives much activity at all.
This song, and The Go-Go’s in general, feel ripe for a comeback. I could see this tune showing up on a popular TV show or soundtracking a TikTok trend. It’s so immediately catchy that it must be lack of exposure keeping it from continued popularity. It’s impossible to listen to ‘Our Lips are Sealed’ and not want to hear it again.
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that’s no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
[Chorus]
Doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
[Verse 2]
There’s a weapon
That we must use
In our defense
Silence
When you look at them
Look right through them
That’s when they’ll disappear
That’s when we’ll be feared
[Chorus]
Doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
Doesn’t matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
[Bridge]
Hush, my darling
Don’t you cry
Quiet, angel
Forget their lies
[Verse 3]
Can you hear them?
They talk about us
Telling lies
Well, that’s no surprise
Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal
[Chorus]
Doesn’t matter what they say
In the jealous games people play
Our lips are sealed
Pay no mind to what they say
Doesn’t matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Meet Me In Montauk 
I agree, it’s a pretty infectious song.
