D.N.A.

The story behind

A Flock of Seagulls recorded D.N.A. in 1982, as part of their debut album of the same name. The song is instrumental, synth-pop, and lasts two minutes and thirty seconds. It was released under the Jive label. The band was not present when they won the Grammy in 1983 for Best Rock Instrumental Performance. Their manager told them, but they didn't know what a Grammy was. The singer, Mike Score, spoke of the frustration of not being able to collect the award nor being on TV. The song is part of an album that is considered conceptual, with stories that follow a sequence.
