I was just listening to this in the car...

"...She's got electric boots, a mohair suit- You know I read it in a magazine ..." {Bennie & the Jets}

Good memories of 81

This song was EVERYWHERE that year.....to this day, I still have 2 copies of the 12". Was really a fun jam.

"now you know this just don't make no kind of sense.....walking around here so intense?!"

LOVE THIS SONG! That bassline is classic.

I love the Larry Levan mix of that

Remember the "Heartbeat Rap"?

"...She's got electric boots, a mohair suit- You know I read it in a magazine ..." {Bennie & the Jets}

who remembers the remake by Seduction? From 1989,if I'm not mistaken.

Definately a jam. I love those heartbeats and handclaps.

One of the better songs of 1981.

Holy crap I'm really old. Not only do I remember the release of the original but I remember when De La Soul soul sampled it for "Buddy" in like 1989.
