I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion. To me this is a best Pet Shop Boys song, probably in musicality, one of the best ever made. Genius stuff.

The music was written in collaboration with Italian film composer Ennio Morricone in preparation for a project that evolved into It Couldn't Happen Here, the Boys' fascinating but largely unsuccessful film venture. At the official PSB website, Neil described the composition of the song like this: "Morricone's manager gave us a tape of an unfinished song and told us we could do what we liked with it. Around the chorus melody by Morricone, we wrote verse and intro music and I wrote the words. We never met him." But on another occasion (in an issue of their Fan Club publication Literally), Neil described the circumstances a bit differently, stating how Morricone (or his representatives) had sent them "a funny song about a man building an ark." He went on to add, "We liked the tune of the chorus, so we took the tune of the chorus and wrote a new verse…." (An attempt to provide a succinct step-by-step "recreation" of the process is provided below in the "Annotations.") Details are a bit sketchy, but it seems the Morricone piece from which Chris and Neil borrowed the chorus melody of "It Couldn't Happen Here" may have been originally composed for the 1983 French film Le Marginal, but wasn't actually used. Instead it remained unreleased (and possibly, as Neil described it, "unfinished") until 1999, when it finally saw the light of day as the song "Forecast" by the band Blizzard on the compilation CD Belmondo-Morricone, and still later re-released on an expanded edition of the Le Marginal soundtrack album.

And the orchestral arrangement on this song was written by Angelo Badalamenti ! (Altough no orchestra was used on the final song : it's all done with Fairlight CMI sounds)

I’ll never understand why “One more Chance” and this were not released as singles. When I was 14 I had my first hifi and it had a CD Player. The first track I played on it was “It Couldn’t Happen Here”. 30yrs later I have an identical aiwa NSX-330 that works perfectly (mine died in 1997). Just like 1992, the sound quality is awesome. I’ve got the remastered CD (back in 87 and 88 we wore out three casssettes in the family car) lol. I’ve owned a copy on every format and ‘actually’ is, ironically, actually the only album I’ve ever owned where I like every single track on it!!!!!!!’❤

This song brings back strong memories from when I was 17 years old. A lot happened in my life then, both good and bad. In my opinion, perhaps the best and deepest song from Pet Shop Boys. They really should have found their way back to the harmonic melancholic tunes with symphony orchestra again. Missing! Respect from me...

A partner song to 'Being Boring', an AIDS elegy, PSB reflect with great sadness on the impact of AIDS on their friends and the gay community ....'it couldn't happen here...', but of course it did; this song stands as a memorial.

In a parallel universe, this is a Yes song from 10 years earlier. And that's a compliment if there ever was one.

Poorly designed product, both the DVD and Blu-ray are unfortunately blocked from the rest of the world. It should be Region Free for both discs.
