Beauty and the Beat is the debut album from Californian new wave band the Go-Go's. Released in 1981 on the . Records label, the album was preceded by the single and signature song "We Got the Beat", which became a club hit in Europe and, later, the United States. When the album was eventually released, it steadily climbed the Billboard 200 chart, ultimately peaking at number one, where it remained for six consecutive weeks, ranking second among Billboard's Top 100 albums of 1981

It’s not quite right to say that the Go-Go’s' 1981 debut, Beauty and the Beat, is where new wave caught hold in the . but it’s not quite wrong, either. Prior to this, there had certainly been new wave hits - Blondie had been reaching the Top Ten for two years running - but the Go-Go’s ushered in the era of big, bright stylish pop, spending six weeks at the top of the .

Go,Go's ‎– Beauty And The Beat.

There go the go-go's with the cakes like always The same old thirsty clientèle Every morning just the same Since the morning that we came To this Brokeback Mountain town. Good morning Belle Good morning Ru Where are you sashaying off to? The book shop I just finished the most wonderful pride festival with glitter and ribbons That's nice Pit crew Grab my wigs Hurry up girl. She's serving us "House On The Prairie" realness That Pollyanna pony tail What a crusty shade of blue And that apron is just eew But she really is a basic queen miss Belle  .

When the Go-Go’s are called a punk band a lot of that is contextual. They came up in a punk scene that allowed people that weren’t good players to get onstage and say they were in a band because the punk attitude was Hey, we can do this too. Screw you. We can do whatever we want. That was the ethic, the context, that was what defined them as a punk band. There was nothing real rebellious about the Go-Go’s ever. It wasn’t anything revolutionary. It wasn’t the Sex Pistols, let’s put it that way.

Go-Go's new songs, albums, biography, chart history, photos, videos, news, and more on Billboard, the go-to source for what's hot in music.

The Go-Go's Vacation Bizzers will no doubt rend their overpriced garments when this fails to follow Beauty and the Beat into Platinum City, but all its failure will prove is that you can't build a wall of sound (much less an empire) out of tissue paper. The uniform thinness of the non-Kathy Valentine songs here does clear up the mystery of why virtual non-writer Belinda Carlisle gets to play frontwoman-her voice fits the image
