(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me

"(There's) Always Something There To Remind Me" was written by song-writing team Burt Bacharach and Hal David.  There are several pre-80's versions of this song.  It was originally recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick in 63, and first charted for Lou Johnson in 64.  I'm going with what is probably the most popular of these pre-80's versions, the 64 cover by Sandie Shaw. 

But by far the most well-known version was recorded by Naked Eyes and released in 83.  When I hear their version, which is one of the most ubiquitous 80's songs on the radio, I usually forget that it's not the original, because it's much different than all of its predecessors -- and much better.  The song's rather melancholy lyrics are juxtaposed with some of the most upbeat music from a decade known (and vilified) for its upbeat music.  I defy anyone to listen to their version and not be in a good mood.
