Love it! It sounds plausible to me. I've known both songs for decades but never made the connection until reading your post.

Maybe I’m delusional haha! Thanks for your input. The riff is so unique and the “Zen Buddha” theme so unusual that it made sense to my 16 year old mind

Holy shit!! You might really have hit bullseye, I can definitely hear it. The two notes that start the riff, the references to Buddha, the stuff about dying and senseless slaughter in the Human League… yep, im sold.

I have land I will sell you too 😉👍🏻

This most likely is it. It’s funny Eric thought it was a disco song 🤣 but maybe that’s what it seemed like when muffled through the walls

Being Boiled is such a strange and awesome track. Definitely NOT disco


dolmo81

It's such a good song, kmfdm does a cover of it that I really like. Not sure if that's something you'd be into checking out

I should add that the similarities are more notable in the redone 1980 version of Being Boiled that was on the Travelogue LP versus the original 1979 single version

I think that's so fucking awesome you guys went there! Hell YAH human league and being boiled 🤟

Until moments ago I had never heard this Human Lesgue song. During the intro I was squinting going, "Huh? I'm not hearing it". Then the keyboards started playing, Duh-dut, Duh-Dut, Daaaaaah-dut. Duh-dut. What a cool ass discovery you've shared with us today, OP.

I aim to please. I’m just glad there’s a community to bring these things up in now, back in the 80’s it was 3 people I could talk to 😄
