"Blue Savannah" is Erasure at their most starry-eyed, an uplifting love song by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell from Wild!, their fourth album, produced by Gareth Jones and mixed by Jones with Mark Saunders. It rolled out around the world in early 1990: first in Japan as the lead single, then in Britain on Mute as the album's third, and in America on Sire as its second.
At home it climbed to number three, their eighth UK top-10, matched that peak in Ireland and went all the way to number one in Israel. Kevin Godley's video has an unexplained blue hand coating Bell and Clarke in paint until they're blue all over.
