I have said repeatedly that 1983 is one of the most amazing years for pop music.This song is another reason why.

Between them and Dexy's Midnight Runners, there's still enough rag tag, "loveable," mop top street urchins to last us into the next millenium. Hadn't heard that one in a long time, and now I'm sure it'll be stuck in my head.

Funny,I didn't know that the lead singer was Black this is the first time I have actually seen the video,lol.

I love this comment from one of the viewers on YouTube who likes this song:

These kids today just don't know how much they are being cheated out of good music.If and when they find out,they should be upset.

where is NWF at? Lately,I've been listening to alot of 80s New Wave.I'm sure he can relate.

Oh god, I love this song.

Made a mixtape with this song and Len's "Steal My Sunshine." Just a bunch of bright 80s and 90s trax.

I hear stuff like this and I'm 15 again, and my mom's driving me and some friends to the theater to see 'Sixteen Candles'. It's a good feeling.

great song - a classic lesser-known track from the 80's.

I saw a pic of them many years ago,so I knew they had a black guy in the band.I just didn't know he was the lead singer

NorthernLad said:

I'm surprised that this wasn't a bigger hit.It's as catchy as Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" or The Fixx's "One Thing Leads To Another".

CinisterCee said:

Oh, that was an old mix I made years ago. But you're on to something. I need to podcast it eventually!

This has always reminded me of Get Happy-era Elvis Costello, though he never wrote anything quite this flat-out fun.

I don't know where he's been.



Anyways, yes it is one of my favorite songs of the 80's, but not my #1. That spot currently goes to "Changeling" by Simple Minds. But my #1 song always changes.
