The Tom Tom Club - The Man With The 4 Way Hips (Island)

The Tom Tom's last single "Under The Boardwalk" saw them treading water after the very wonderful "Genius Of Love". Now they're sinking slowly without so much as a melody to cling on to. (Paul Simper, No 1, July 23, 1983)

Bright and bouncy this song is simply jam-packed with goodies. Oozing synthetic vocals wash over a bubbly concoction of - you guessed it - summery sounds that celebrate the joys of being a physical jerk. You can't have everything I suppose. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, August 4, 1983)

Desperate as somebody trying to break out of locked cupboard. Tom Tom Club stagger through a track sounding like a Metal Mickey novelty song. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, July 23, 1983)
