Title: Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1984, Pop, New Wave Dance Pop, London, England 6/26
Matrix #: Columbia 4405049
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: George M (63' - 16'), Andrew R (63' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: George Michael was still closeted while being sold as a bright teen-pop heartthrob, carrying private fear, family pressure, and tabloid risk under the clean Wham! image.
- Studio Lore: The title came from a note Andrew Ridgeley left for his parents, where he accidentally doubled “go,” turning a household mistake into the single’s whole hook.
- Media Narrative: The video’s oversized “Choose Life” shirts became instant 80s iconography, turning Wham! into a color-coded pop product as much as a band.

Title: Lana Del Rey – Born to DieYear/Genre: 2012, Alternative PopCondition: New Cultural Facts: Built from years of “Lizzy Grant” era writing—several songs existed as pre-fame demos before the “Video Games” blowup rewrote the timeline.
