The Lebanon (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lebanon was a song releasd in 1984 by the synthpop band The Human League. The song is about a man who volunteers to be a peace worker in Lebanon and finds it more dangerous than expected. It is the "rockiest" song The Human League ever released with lead and bass guitar parts.

It was the first single from The Hysteria LP and had an attractive video of the band playing live. Phil Oakey had to keep his facial hair at the same length through-out the shooting which was difficult.

It was named song of the week by the NME and went to #24 on the UK charts. It made the Top 100 in the USA.
