The Friday Forgotten 45 at 3:45 was a song that was on the charts this week in 1990! From INXS it’s “Suicide Blonde”.
The Aussie band had quite a successful run between 1982 and 1990 recording 9 Top 40 hits in the U.S. including their #1 hit “Need You Tonight”. “Suicide Blonde” was the lead single from their 1990 album “X” and the song was another top 10 hit for the group, peaking at #9 in the States and #2 in Australia.
The song was written by Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farriss and the title came from a wig Michael’s then girlfriend Kylie Minogue was wearing to a movie premiere in 1989.
