Living in a Box (song)

"Living in a Box" is a song by the British band of the same name, released on 23 March 1987 as their debut single from their self-titled debut album. It was the group's biggest hit single along with "Room in Your Heart" (1989), both reaching No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. "Living in a Box" became the group's only top-40 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was later covered by Bobby Womack; his version reached No. 70 in the UK.

Background
The song's title came from former member Jon Bennett who lived in a small council flat in Sheffield prompting him to remark "I feel like I'm living in a cardboard box.", referring to the sense of feeling enclosed. The music video features British DJ Tony Blackburn holding and moving the mouth of a cardboard cutout of himself over his face. ==Track listings==
