"The Height of the Fighting (He-La-Hu)" is a song by British synth-pop band Heaven 17, released on 12 February 1982[1] as the fifth and final single from their debut album, Penthouse and Pavement.

[3][4][5] Upon its release, Red Starr of Smash Hits considered the single a "pointless rehash of an album track in a truly dreadful cover".

They added: "The sooner BEF give up this dead-end synthetic funk and turn their talents back to writing classic stuff like "Dreams of Leaving" and "Radio WXJL" from Travelogue the better.

"[6] Sunie of Record Mirror noted: "It doesn't quite match the magnificent "Penthouse and Pavement" single but it's pretty fab nonetheless.

"[7] In a retrospective review of the album, Dan LeRoy of AllMusic considered the song one of the "standout combinations of witty lyrics and whiplash electro-grooves".
