I Love a Man in a Uniform (1982)
Gang of Four
Rating: 4.1
"The girls, they love to see you shoot." Who can argue with that sort of logic? This song is full of wonderful lyrics such as this ("To have ambition was my ambition"), and the vocals and magnificent, with a simple guitar riff that helps carry the song.
This song was banned by the BBC during the Falklands War; nevertheless, it hit the UK singles chart, and it was popular in the United States as well. The only real problem I have with this song is that it doesn't seem sure about when it should end, so it drags on for longer than it really should. Otherwise, this is a good song from a good band.
(Side note-this is not one of the main 1,001.)
