"Being Boiled" is a song by the British synthpop band The Human League. Composed by then-bandmembers Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh, with lyrics by Philip Oakey, it has been released several times since 1978, finally becoming a UK Top Ten hit in 1982. ==Different versions== "Being Boiled" was first released as a single in 1978 on the Fast Product label, and although failing to chart, was influential amongst other new wave and post-punk artists. In 1987 this version was added as a bonus track to the CD edition of the band's debut album ''Reproduction''. The band recorded a new version as part of a session for the John Peel radio programme in the summer of 1978. The session was recorded 8 August 1978 and broadcast on 16 August. Among the four songs recorded, "Being Boiled" is the only one which has had an official release.〔(discogs.com 'Movement: BBC Radio 1 Peel Sessions 1977-1979' )〕 A totally re-recorded version of "Being Boiled" was included on the band's ''Holiday '80'' EP, which reached number 56 in 1980 and number 46 in 1982. This version was also included on their 1980 ''Travelogue'' album, and is also available on the ''Original Remixes and Rarities'' compilation album (2005).〔(discogs.com - The Human League - ''Original Remixes and Rarities'' )〕 A stereo remix of the original mono Fast Product version was released as a single in August 1980 through EMI Records, failing to chart. This stereo remix was then reissued in January 1982, this time reaching Number 6 in the UK Charts, shortly after the band's commercial breakthrough with ''Dare'' and "Don't You Want Me". It was later included on their ''Greatest Hits'' anthology released in 1988. It has also been released on subsequent ''greatest hits'' albums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Being Boiled」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
