"'''Club Tropicana'''" is a song by [[United Kingdom|British]] pop duo [[Wham!]], released in 1983 on [[Innervision Records]]. It was written by [[George Michael]] and [[Andrew Ridgeley]].
"'''Club Tropicana'''" is a single by English pop duo [[Wham!]], released on 22 July 1983 on [[Innervision Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://dutchcharts.nl/showitem.asp?interpret=Wham!&titel=Club+Tropicana|title=Wham singles}}</ref> It was written by members [[George Michael]] and [[Andrew Ridgeley]].


==History==
The song was a mild departure from Wham!'s previous singles, which had all been motivated by social or political issues. "Club Tropicana", however, was a [[satire]] of the boom for cheap [[package holiday]]s for younger, single people of a [[hedonism|hedonistic]] nature. It was specifically seen in the UK as a swipe at the very popular [[Club 18-30]] scheme.
"Club Tropicana" was written in 1981 in Ridgeley's living room, before the band or bandname had been fully established, and was the second Wham! song they came up with after the initial "Wham Rap!".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ridgeley |first1=Andrew |title=Wham! George & Me |date=2019 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=9780241385807 |pages=192 |edition=First}}</ref> Although only half finished at the time of recording, it became one of the three home [[Demo (music)|demos]] hastily made on a hired [[Portastudio|porta-studio]] which led to their first record contract with [[Innervision Records]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ridgeley |first1=Andrew |title=Wham! George & Me |date=2019 |publisher=Penguin |isbn=9780241385807 |pages=139 |edition=First}}</ref> The initial song inspiration came from their excitement over the glamour and escapism of the then burgeoning [[New Romantic]] club scene, and Michael, Ridgeley and [[Shirlie Holliman]]'s occasional visits to one such club in London, Le Beat Route.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Ridgeley |first1=Andrew |title=Wham!

==Synopsis==
A video directed by [[Duncan Gibbins]] was made at [[Pikes Hotel, Ibiza|Pikes Hotel]] in [[Ibiza]], with scenes of George and Andrew on the beach, making eyes at [[bikini]]-clad girls played by their backing singers [[Dee C. Lee]] and [[Shirlie Holliman]]. They were also seen relaxing by a pool and sipping [[cocktails]], along with the famous scene of [[trumpet]]-playing taking place in the pool itself. A twist in the sexual tension between the two men and two women was revealed at the end, when it turned out that Michael and Ridgeley were airline [[Aviator|pilot]]s and Dee and Shirlie were [[stewardess]]es.

==B-side==
==B-side==
The B-side, "Blue (Armed with Love)", is a semi-instrumental dub track, which was cut once the ''Fantastic'' album was finished – Michael was involved as sole producer. Michael and Ridgeley spent the 11 hours they had available putting the track together, but it wasn't fully finished and ended up being released in its incomplete state as a B-side.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.soundonsound.com/people/classic-tracks-george-michael-faith|title=Classic Tracks: George Michael 'Faith' – Sound on Sound}}</ref>
The B-side, "Blue (Armed With Love)", is a semi-instrumental dub track of higher quality than is generally expected for B-side material, and would not have been out of place on ''Fantastic''. It in fact appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese pic disc version of the album. During their "Club Fantastic" tour in late 1983 and in 1985 in China, they performed this song live, complete with sung verses, and the result was released as "Blue (Live In China)" on their 1986 LP ''[[Music from the Edge of Heaven]]'' as well as the B-side of 1985's single release of "[[Last Christmas]]." The studio version of the song has not appeared on CD except for a 3" CD single in Japan. It was also overlooked for the 25th Anniversary rerelease of ''[[The Final (album)|The Final]]'', even though this version claimed to be accurate to the original release.
During their "[[Club Fantastic Tour|Club Fantastic]]" tour in late 1983 and in 1985 in China, they performed a more developed version of this song live, complete with sung verses. This version was released as "Blue (Live in China)" on their 1986 LP ''[[Music from the Edge of Heaven]]'' as well as the B-side of 1985's single release of "[[Last Christmas]]". "Blue" was first available on CD on the compilation ''[[So80s]]'' 12 in 2019 and on streaming services in 2023 with the edition of ''[[The Singles: Echoes from the Edge of Heaven]]'', the duo's last compilation album released.

It was during this trip to Ibiza that Michael had his first physical homosexual encounter, confirming to himself that he was definitely either homosexual or bisexual.

"Club Tropicana" is a single by English pop duo Wham!, released on 22 July 1983 on Innervision Records.[2] It was written by members George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley.

History

[edit]

"Club Tropicana" was written in 1981 in Ridgeley's living room, before the band or bandname had been fully established, and was the second Wham! song they came up with after the initial "Wham Rap!".[3] Although only half finished at the time of recording, it became one of the three home demos hastily made on a hired porta-studio which led to their first record contract with Innervision Records.[4] The initial song inspiration came from their excitement over the glamour and escapism of the then burgeoning New Romantic club scene, and Michael, Ridgeley and Shirlie Holliman's occasional visits to one such club in London, Le Beat Route.[5] The song's lyrical theme was then expanded to also include the hedonism of summery Club 18-30 holidays,[6] whilst musically fusing a Latin jazz rhythm with a groove inspired by the Gap Band's "Burn Rubber on Me".[7]

Synopsis

[edit]

The song was a mild departure from Wham!'s previous singles, which had all been motivated by social or political issues. "Club Tropicana", however, was a homage to the infamous Pikes Hotel Ibiza, frequented by Freddie Mercury and the Wham boys themselves, the video was shot at Pikes.

Chart performance

[edit]

The song was released in July 1983 and peaked at No. 4 in the UK, going on to become the 39th best selling single of 1983. It was the fourth and final single to be taken from the album Fantastic. Wham! then achieved four UK No. 1 singles before splitting at their height in 1986.

Other releases

[edit]

The song was also included on the compilation album The Final and on Michael's greatest hits album Twenty Five.[8][9]

B-side

[edit]

The B-side, "Blue (Armed with Love)", is a semi-instrumental dub track, which was cut once the Fantastic album was finished – Michael was involved as sole producer. Michael and Ridgeley spent the 11 hours they had available putting the track together, but it wasn't fully finished and ended up being released in its incomplete state as a B-side.[10] During their "Club Fantastic" tour in late 1983 and in 1985 in China, they performed a more developed version of this song live, complete with sung verses. This version was released as "Blue (Live in China)" on their 1986 LP Music from the Edge of Heaven as well as the B-side of 1985's single release of "Last Christmas". "Blue" was first available on CD on the compilation So80s 12 in 2019 and on streaming services in 2023 with the edition of The Singles: Echoes from the Edge of Heaven, the duo's last compilation album released.

Music video

[edit]

A video directed by Duncan Gibbins was made at Pikes Hotel in Ibiza,[11] owned by Tony Pike with scenes of Michael and Ridgeley on the beach, making eyes at bikini-clad girls played by their backing singers Dee C. Lee and Shirlie Holliman. They are also seen relaxing by a pool and sipping cocktails, with Michael lounging on a lilo in white Speedos, along with the famous scene of trumpet-playing taking place in the pool itself. A twist in the sexual tension between the two men and two women is revealed at the end, when it turns out that Michael and Ridgeley are airline pilots and Dee and Shirlie are stewardesses.

It was during this trip to Ibiza that Michael had his first physical homosexual encounter, confirming to himself that he was definitely either homosexual or bisexual. He confided first in Shirlie Holliman and then in Ridgeley, who both were OK with it.[12]

As of February 2024, the music video has received more than 33.9 million views on YouTube.[13] The music video was used as an homage for Lewis Capaldi's music video for "Forget Me" in 2022.[14]
