I could not get enough of this song when it came out. There were a couple of different little mixes for radio or the video, compared to the album version. There was something so funky, cool, fresh, and unusual and catchy about it. I'd listen to it over and over, and it helped my little then-crush on drummer Roger Taylor. It's still a favorite song in my all time top 100.

Great song and video. And Nick was a sexy little bitch back there behind the keys pouting with his frosted pink lipstick and shiny sweater.

This song has aged well. I miss the 80's. Reminds me of my younger years in Germany.

I hope you aren't losing sleep over confusing Duran Duran lyrics. You'd be an insomniac by now! lol
