Don't You Want Glee?

Almost 30 years after its original release The Human League's classic 80's track 'Don't You Want Me' has been given a new lease of life thanks to popular TV show Glee. The song was featured in "Blame it on the Alcohol", the latest episode of the show, famous for cover versions of classic songs from the past, broadcast this week in the US. As a result the original version, which was the Christmas number in 1 in 1981, has now shot to no. 5 in the US i-tunes chart.

The revival coincides nicely with the release of the band's latest album Credo set to go out on 21st March, with a new single Never Let Me Go also to be released in March, although neither in the US. A spokesperson for the group has stated however that the album "will not be available domestically in the US or on I-Tunes in the US until such time as we have secured a domestic label for the record in that territory."
Don't they want it?
