"Imagination" is a 1985 single by British artist Belouis Some, from his 1985 debut album Some People. Upon its first release in the UK in 1985, the song only managed to chart at #50, but a re-release proved more successful, hitting the Top 20 and peaking at #17 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1986.[1] In the U.S., the song reached #88 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1985.

A music video was produced for "Imagination", and was directed by Storm Thorgerson. It caused controversy as it contained full frontal nudity.[2]

The song was covered by Harry as part of the album The Trouble with... Harry in 2003. It was used as a soundtrack for a humorous Barclay's Bank advertisement in the 1980s, as well as the 1987 movie "Ghost Chase".
