Pet Shop Boys - Behaviour

"Behaviour," the fourth studio album by the Pet Shop Boys, was co-produced by the duo and German synth-pop producer Harold Faltermeyer. Faltermeyer was famous for his electronic film scores like "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Top Gun." The production on the album is notably warmer and less high-energy than their previous work with producers like Trevor Horn.

"Being Boring," a standout single from the "Behaviour" album, is a deeply reflective track written by Neil Tennant about youth, friendship, and loss. The lyrics mourn the devastation of the AIDS epidemic, specifically referencing the death of friends in the 1980s. The title itself is a famous quote attributed to Zelda Fitzgerald.

The Pet Shop Boys' album "Behaviour" was released in 1990 on the Parlophone label. It marked a distinct shift in the duo's sound, moving away from the driving, hi-NRG dance tracks of the 1980s toward a more melancholic, synthesized pop. The album features hit singles like "So Hard" and "Being Boring."

The most notable hit singles from "Behaviour" include "So Hard" and "Being Boring." "So Hard" was a commercial success, reaching the top 10 in the UK Singles Chart. Although "Being Boring" was less commercially successful upon release, it remains one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved songs in the Pet Shop Boys' catalog.
