Beautiful song but kind of perverted don’t you think in a sense, talking about a 16 year old girl who’s a minor!

Great song, I love it. Played it on the radio in 1985-86. But why is there no version with normalized audio for 2024? Someone fucked up. It's one of the greatest audio songs of all time. Someone is holding back the master tapes. And if you are, you are a hoarder or an asshole!!! Every video of this on KZbin sounds like shit! Why do we have to rely on the audio from the video. Big mistake. I'm done with you all after 39 years.

"Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)" is a song written and performed by the British duo Eurythmics. It was released as the first single from their album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother), which served as the soundtrack to the film Nineteen Eighty-Four, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by George Orwell. The song was produced by Dave Stewart. "Sexcrime" is a song which features heavy sampling of Lennox's voice, utilizing snippets of her vocal performance to produce a stuttering effect. Also prominently featured is the voice of Stewart, with the aid of a vocoder, uttering the phrase "nineteen eighty four". It was the first of two singles released from the soundtrack album. The term "sexcrime" is one of several Newspeak words found within the novel. The song was originally intended to appear in the film 1984, but was dropped prior to the film's release. However, it was used as background music for the film's trailer, and the song's promotional video was included on home video releases of the film. In addition to the standard 7" and 12" formats, the song was also released as a limited edition 12" picture disc. Cash Box called it a "fascinating song" that is "somewhat constrained" by the Eurythmics' practice of writing songs using few notes. Billboard called it a "compelling dance track...with its aura of doomy foreboding [and] touches of humor." The single peaked at number 4 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Eurythmics' sixth consecutive top 10 hit. It was one of the duo's biggest selling singles in the UK, being certified silver by the BPI for sales in excess of 250,000 copies. It was also a big hit throughout Europe, a top 10 hit in New Zealand, a top 20 hit in Canada, and one of the duo's biggest selling singles in Australia. "Sexcrime" met with strong resistance on United States radio and on video outlets such as MTV - the song's title was particularly controversial to those who were not aware of the meaning of the word in Orwell's novel. The music video (featuring a straightforward performance of the song by Lennox and Stewart) had limited rotation on MTV. "Sexcrime" peaked at number 81 on the Billboard Hot 100, but was much more successful on the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, where it reached number 2. The novel “1984” depicts a totalitarian state. Privacy has been abolished and total surveillance prevails. In the novel, Oceania - the state depicted - includes North and South America, the British Isles, Australia and southern Africa. The population is monitored by the thought police. And sex was a crime in the book if it was not “good sex”, i.e. if it was not used to produce children. („Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)“ ist ein Lied, das von dem britischen Duo Eurythmics geschrieben und gespielt wurde. Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four) ist als ein schneller Dance-Song komponiert worden. Er wurde als erste Single aus ihrem Album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) veröffentlicht, das als Soundtrack zum Film Nineteen Eighty-Four diente, einer Adaption des gleichnamigen Romans von George Orwell. Der Song wurde von Dave Stewart produziert. „Sexcrime“ ist ein Song, in dem Lennox' Stimme stark gesampelt wird, wobei Schnipsel ihrer Gesangsleistung verwendet werden, um einen Stottereffekt zu erzeugen. Außerdem ist die Stimme von Stewart zu hören, der mit Hilfe eines Vocoders die Phrase „nineteen eighty four“ ausspricht. Es war die erste von zwei Singles, die aus dem Soundtrack-Album veröffentlicht wurden. Der Begriff „Sexcrime“ ist eines von mehreren Newspeak-Wörtern, die in dem Roman vorkommen. Der Song sollte ursprünglich in dem Film 1984 erscheinen, wurde aber vor der Veröffentlichung des Films fallen gelassen. Er wurde jedoch als Hintergrundmusik für den Trailer des Films verwendet, und das Werbevideo des Songs wurde auf den Home-Video-Veröffentlichungen des Films mitgeliefert. Zusätzlich zu den Standardformaten 7„ und 12“ wurde der Song auch als limitierte 12“ Picture Disc veröffentlicht. Cash Box nannte ihn einen „faszinierenden Song“, der durch die Praxis der Eurythmics, Songs mit wenigen Noten zu schreiben, „etwas eingeschränkt“ ist. Billboard nannte ihn einen „fesselnden Tanzsong... mit einer Aura von düsterer Vorahnung [und] einem Hauch von Humor“. Sexcrime ist ein Begriff aus dem Neusprech, der von Orwell in seiner Romanvorlage verwendeten modifizierten Variante der englischen Sprache. Das Wort steht in irreführender Weise für Liebe, die von der Regierung Ozeaniens zur Straftat (crime, deutsch: Straftat) erklärt wurde. Das Lied wurde zuerst auf dem Album 1984 (For the Love of Big Brother) in einer 3:57 Minuten langen Fassung veröffentlicht. Im November erschien die Albumversion als Single, auf der B-Seite befindet sich I Did It Just the Same. Weiterhin erschien eine Maxi-Single mit einer 7:55 Minuten langen Fassung. Virgin Records veröffentlichte 1985 eine Maxi-CD, auf der sich neben der Langversion von Sexcrime eine 6:35 Minuten lange Maxiversion von Julia befand, 1988 erschienen sämtliche 1984 auf Schallplatte veröffentlichten Remixe ebenfalls als CD. Während die Single in Europa ein kommerzieller Erfolg wurde, konnte sie auf dem US-amerikanischen Markt die Erwartungen nicht erfüllen, da sich die meisten großen Radiosender weigerten, das Lied wegen seines „anrüchigen Inhalts“ zu spielen. Die Single erreichte Platz 4 der UK Singles Chart und wurde der sechste Top-10-Hit der Eurythmics in Folge. Sie war eine der meistverkauften Singles des Duos im Vereinigten Königreich und wurde vom BPI für mehr als 250.000 verkaufte Exemplare mit Silber zertifiziert. Es war auch ein großer Hit in ganz Europa, ein Top-10-Hit in Neuseeland, ein Top-20-Hit in Kanada und eine der meistverkauften Singles des Duos in Australien. „Sexcrime“ stieß im US-amerikanischen Radio und auf Videoportalen wie MTV auf starken Widerstand - der Titel des Songs war besonders für diejenigen umstritten, die sich der Bedeutung des Wortes in Orwells Roman nicht bewusst waren. Das Musikvideo (mit einer einfachen Darbietung des Songs durch Lennox und Stewart) wurde auf MTV nur begrenzt ausgestrahlt. „Sexcrime“ erreichte Platz 81 der Billboard Hot 100, war aber wesentlich erfolgreicher in den US Hot Dance Club Play Charts, wo es Platz 2 erreichte. Im Roman „1984“ wird ein totalitärer Staat dargestellt. Die Privatsphäre wurde abgeschafft, und es herrscht die totale Überwachung. Ozeanien - der dargestellte Staat - umfasst im Roman Nord- und Südamerika, die britischen Inseln, Australien und das südliche Afrika. Die Bevölkerung wird von der Gedankenpolizei überwacht. Und Sex war im Buch ein Verbrechen, wenn es kein „Gutsex“ war, also nicht der Kindererzeugung diente.)

As beautiful and "romantic" as this song may seem, you all do realize what it is about, right? Benny Mardones was 34 when this song was released, in 1980, yet he's singing about having sex with a 16-year-old. It's called pedophilia, folks!
