With numerous hits that spanned between 1982 and 1995 in the US, the band was named the 446th biggest recording act in the rock era in 1996. Well deserved with so many memorable songs.
Your ignorance is ironic, they were already massive in 1981, they had 4 top 10 hits in 1981 in the UK including one of the 30 best-selling songs in history. The world is not the USA
@@OnlyGoodMusic_ - So create your own non-US post then. I'm in the US, the list of biggest recording acts in based on the US, so therefore it is appropriate to share US statistics. Your comment was hilarious.
How can you be a one hit wonder in the US with two #1 singles, a top 10 single, and three Top 40 singles? Anyone who thinks that much chart success is a one-hit wonder knows nothing about music.
Since I was very young I realized I never wanted to be human size So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams They just remind me of how small I am Because of this longing in my heart I'm going to start the growing up I'm going to grow now and never stop Think like a mountain, grow to the top Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall With concentration My size increased And now I'm fourteen stories high At least!! Empire state human Just a bored kid I'll go to Egypt to be A pyramid Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Brick by brick Stone by stone Growing till he's fully grown Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land Fetch more water Fetch more sand Biggest person in the land

I am really immersed in memories listening to this - esp as I heard this live in 1980 at the Hammersmith Odeon London !!!
Pure class from Sheffield
Absolutely brilliant.

Sad that in the US these guys are largely considered one hit wonders when they were one of the pioneers of new wave and modern day pop 😭👏🏽

@@shyman99 I agree, it's not fair
@@CastellonZamora - I made a post under this video to remind people of their success so hopefully we can start changing that perception.
Love this song thank you very much LG...Elisabeth
One of my favorite group along with Blondie 🤩💕🤩💕🤩💕🤩💕🤩
Since I was very young I realized
I never wanted to be human size
So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
They just remind me of how small I am
Because of this longing in my heart
I'm going to start the growing up
I'm going to grow now and never stop
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories high
At least!!
Empire state human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
A pyramid
Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall, I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall, as big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall, then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing till he's fully grown
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing till he's fully grown

Yes and the other on the keyboard is Ian Graig Marsh (also Heaven 17), and they are the two founding members of The Human League
