original description

"Blue Monday" has been a hit several times. In 1988 "Blue Monday" was officially remixed by Quincy Jones and John Potoker under the title "Blue Monday 88". At nearly 7 and a half minutes in length, "Blue Monday" is one of the longest tracks ever to chart in the UK. It is recognised as the biggest selling 12" single of all time. The song begins with a distinctive semiquaver kick drum intro. The verse section features the song's signature throbbing synth bass line, played on a Moog Source synthesizer, overlaid with Peter Hook's bass guitar leads. Bernard Sumner delivers the lyrics in a deadpan manner. After a lengthy introduction, the first and second verses are contiguous and are separated from the third verse only by a brief series of sound effects. A short breakdown section follows the third verse, which leads to an extended outro. "Blue Monday" is often seen as one of the most important crossover tracks of the 1980s pop music scene.
