Which one of these is not like the others?
Which one of these doesn't belong?

Human League - The Lebanon
Fun Boy Three - Our Lips Are Sealed
Heaven 17 - Temptation
New Order - Temptation

Three of them have something in common. Which is the odd song out and why?

Er, Fun Boy Three. It's the only cover (technically. Even though Terry Hall co-wrote it, this version was recorded after the Go-Go's version.)

1) The answers to the previous two trivia questions where based on songs that appeared on Urgh! A Music War and songs that appeared on The Young Ones TV show.

This is probably from the "only things Jason would think about" category, but Human League, Fun Boy Three, Heaven 17 and Blondie's catalogs are all controlled by EMI (Human League is Virgin UK, Fun Boy Three & Blondie are Chrysalis and Heaven 17 is BEF -
