In the chamber for at least an hour. We have been moving so quick it's basically been two in the chamber and MRS. Chillin in the third spot. I don't think she is gonna be around until tonight, right?

Almost using my 10000 character limit on this one. And thats just the pick

R16 - OMD (Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark) - Maid of Orleans (The Waltz of Joan of Arc)

Live this one slays. Brings the house down. Slightly faster and frenetic than the recorded version

Ian Birch of Smash Hits wrote, "Once again the dreamboat duo come up with a scintillating intro before settling into a stately canter which becomes more hypnotic with each listen. It could easily be their 'Mull of Kintyre'." "Maid of Orleans" became Germany's biggest-selling single of 1982, as well as the 33rd-biggest seller in the UK that year. The single has sold four million copies worldwide.
Ned Raggett of AllMusic retrospectively described the song as "epic", concluding, "With another bravura [Andy] McCluskey lead and a mock-bagpipe lead that's easily more entrancing than the real thing, it's a wrenching ballad like no other before it and little since." Music journalist Garry Bushell hailed the track as "pop genius". In critic rankings, "Maid of Orleans" was named by Record Mirror's John Shearlaw and Daniela Soave as one of the top three singles of 1982; it placed 18th in Classic Pop's "Top 100 Singles of the 80s", the magazine asserting, "As soon as you hear this you remember greatness."

In an act of cruelty and charity, I am going to steal from @Ilov80s . The charity is that I'm doing it now instead of leaving him with a tough letter at the very end, and also that by being stolen from once now, he has a possibility open up...we'll see if he takes it.

I hereby STEAL The Zombies and am changing the song. This is all of my steals, so you can all breathe a sigh of relief.
