Our Lips are Sealed was originally a hit for The Go Gos but it is the version by Terry Hall and Fun Boy Three that is what I know best and enjoy the most. When The Specials broke up the smart money was on Jerry Dammers having the most successful afterlife. But the smart money is not always right and Hall's contribution to The Specials was probably under-estimated. Evidence of this is that post Specials he probably had the most successful career. First with Fun Boy Three, then The Colourfield and, after a few collaborations as a solo artist.
Always interesting and now sadly missed.
