Laura Branigan's "Self Control" is one of the best songs of the 80's

I can listen to it...hours and hours. This is an example of a perfect and timeless pop song.

LOVE THIS SONG!! music It's sexy.This is exactly the type of song that Donna Summer desperately needed back then.Laura's vocals remind me of Donna.

"Self Control" has an exciting video,too http://www.youtube.com/wa...tUpvJa9FmY

I remember she did get alot "heat" for the video back then being too "sexy" alot of outlets wouldnt show it, i believe New York Hot Tracks was the only one airing it. Funny how times have changed so quickly.
