"Go Home" is a 1986 hit single released by American and Motown musician Stevie Wonder released on the Tamla (Motown) label. The song showcased the narrator's plea to a young woman to go home, though the girl tries to get the narrator to stay with her. In the U.S., the song became another #1 adult contemporary hit for Wonder and reached #10 on the pop singles chart. As of 2011[update], it is Wonder's last song to reach the U.S. top ten on the Billboard pop chart. The song also peaked at #2 on the R&B chart and topped the dance chart in 1986.
Stevie performed this song as early as the 7 May 1983 episode of Saturday Night Live and nearly two years later at the 1985 Grammy Awards Ceremony in Los Angeles, California, in the famous synthesizer jam with other contemporaries Howard Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Thomas Dolby.
Instrumental group Groovopolis led by guitarist Chris Cortez, covered the song from their self-titled first and only album in 2002.

Alley Oop is a syndicated comic strip, created in 1932 by American cartoonist V. T. Hamlin, who wrote and drew the popular and influential strip through four decades for Newspaper Enterprise Association. Hamlin introduced an engaging cast of characters, and his storylines entertained with a combination of adventure, fantasy and humor.
Alley Oop, the strip's title character, was a sturdy citizen in the prehistoric kingdom of Moo. He rode his pet dinosaur, Dinny, carried a stone war hammer and wore nothing but a fur loincloth. He would rather fight dinosaurs in the jungle than deal with his fellow countrymen in Moo's capital (and only) cave-town. In spite of these exotic settings, the stories were often satires of American suburban life.
The first stories took place in the Stone Age and centered on Alley Oop's dealings with his fellow cavemen in the kingdom of Moo. Oop and his pals had occasional skirmishes with the rival kingdom of Lem, ruled by King Tunk. The names Moo and Lem are references to the fabled lost continents of Mu and Lemuria.
(Jett-Hanna)
Walkin' on the streets tonight
I am so aware of you
Give me a reason to fight
When there's nowhere to run to
Go home
Wake up, wake up, wake up right now
There's no one to protect you
Hide myself behind my words
Hide myself inside a' my clothes
Hide myself inside my mind
Go home
Go home
Now take that voice outside a' my head
I hear that voice inside a' my head
Get that voice outta my head
I hear that voice inside a' my head
I will choke it dead, dead
I will stab it dead, dead
I will kill it dead, dead
Go home
