The Numbers - Five Letter Word


[1980]
More barely hits and memories gold. Five Letter Word was the only Numbers tune to crack the national top 40. 

Annalisse Morrow had the hair, clothes and attitude. Our nonchalant bass playin power pop princess shoulda been a national icon. 

The Numbers were on the Deluxe Records label along with INXS, The Dugites and Toy Love. 

Sorta effortless and pretty minimal and kinda naff.

  1. There was a band that used to cover this song in their set in Mildura in the late eighties. They were pretty good--a three-piece band called, "Cars to Guitars". Later, they changed their name to "Love Buzzards".
