Reviews =
Last single = "This World" (1985)
This single = "The Love Parade" (1985)
Next single = "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" (1985)"The Love Parade" is the fourth single released by The Dream Academy. It was a more "edgy" song then their previous singles, with the theme being about adultery and erotic temptation, [http://theacf.com/dreamac/article_nytimes86.html] . There were two additional singles released in the UK by Blanco y Negro, a 7" shaped picture disc and a second limited edition release.

There were high hopes for the single, especially from Warners, and there was some degree of promotion of the song (such as a live performance on American Bandstand). However, the single failed to live up to the expectations of their debut single, "Life in a Northern Town", just making the top 40 in the USA but failing to in the UK
