George Michael’s Careless Whisper and how it became such a success

[Pete]

In 1984 80’s music was introduced to George Michael’s song Careless Whisper and it made a huge impact. For five years in a row it was the U.K’s favorite song. This is an article from Mental Floss that talks about how it became. I was never a huge fan of George but nevertheless if you grew up during the 80s his music was all over the air waves and music video channels.

That was a great article and an interesting one to say the least. Careless is my favorite song from George Michael.

It was for lots of people and what I funny is that it was his least favorite.

That’s so odd. I wonder why he wasn’t a fan. He said that it upset him that he wasn’t and yet so many people were.

He was a cheater and the song reminded him of that. He was out of his mind. Didn’t he get arrested for running through the city naked.

You’re so funny! He was arrested for disorderly conduct at a park restroom in Beverly Hills, California. He was caught by an undercover officer.
