- ^ Originally a solo single for Philip Oakey (credited jointly to Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder) and was released independently of The Human League. It was originally recorded for the film Electric Dreams, and eventually included on the joint album Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder. As it is popularly associated with the band, broadly mimics their traditional sound, and was in fact a bigger hit than many of the League's own singles of the period; it has gained the status of an "honorary" Human League song and is included on their numerous greatest hits albums.
