The Romantics: Talking in Your Sleep - On Solid Gold - 1984 (My "Stereo Studio Sound" Re-Edit)

"Talking in Your Sleep" is a song by American rock band the Romantics. Released in September 1983, It became the band's most successful single in the US, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. The song would have a release two months later in Australia and New Zealand, a release later that year in Japan, and in January 1984 in the UK. It failed to chart in both countries. It became a UK hit in August that year for British group Bucks Fizz. The song is in natural minor.

It appeared on the Romantics' 1983 album In Heat and was the Romantics' biggest chart hit, garnering substantial radio airplay and a million in US 45 RPM single sales.[citation needed] Nemperor Records also released an extended 12" dance mix, which was timed at 5:56.

The song reached No. 3 – where it held for three weeks – on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1984. It also went to No. 1 on the Dance/Disco Top 80 chart, as well as hitting No. 2 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks chart.

The song's music video, directed by Bob Dyke, was widely aired at the time on MTV and elsewhere. It featured the band performing while surrounded by standing, but seemingly sleeping, women who were dressed in lingerie, pajamas, and other sleepwear.
