abstract
  • %22Sunglasses at Night%22 is a song by Canadian singer Corey Hart. It was released in January 1984 as the first single from his debut album, 1983's First Offense, and became a hit single in the United States, rising to number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1984. The song is a staple of 1980s pop rock and new wave music, combining an unflagging synthesizer hook, characteristic arpeggio, rock guitar and obscure lyrics. AllMusic has since described it as %22an instant classic with its distinctive melody and catchy chorus.%22The song is included in numerous hits collections of the period, especially in the U.S., but it was not as popular throughout the rest of the world at the time. Peaking at number 24 in Hart's native Canada, it was not a hit in Europe and failed to chart at all in the UK.
