Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark > The Pretenders - Back on the Chain Gang > 5. Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA > The Cars - Drive "Back on the Chain Gang" came out late in 1982, and was among the most popular songs of 1983. Funny that it pops up in a best single of 1984 poll. -- Baby tie your hair back in a long white bow ... Meet me in the field, behind the dynamo ...
