WHO else knows about this soul pop jem that came out on RCA Records in 1986?
Anyone have their whole album? How is it? That bass line can't be beat. The background vocals turned up and his English accent were slammin on this record.

tune!

Love it - that was one of the last 45s I can remember buying, actually.

Indie-rock band Ivy did a nice cover of it a few years back.

I saw that Channel a few days back. You can know what song is playing anytime and also the next one hitting info on the remote
Hey, That's new to me

And yeah, I loved that song too. I think I first heard/saw it on the Max Headroom show

I like Deluxe Music, it's just perfect for old 40+ farts like us

seriously, unlike MTV they play actual music vidoes instead of crappy reality shows, and you get a chance to see some old gems again. they run short on new and contemporary music though

You and who else?

Chico. he's old enough to be my father

I recently rediscovered these guys through Sirius. I liked the song so much that I bought a relatively cheaply priced import set, Unforunately, the mix on the CD is slightly different than the one the readio plays. I sampled a few other songs and they are pretty good, too.

Had this on cassette back int the day, and while I remember it being 'ok', I prob. didnt really give it a chance. Just played Diggin Your Scene over and over.

Dancelot said:

you little lying @$#%&*!!!!

aren't you like 15-20 years OLDER than me????

and Pandurito's older than his birthday!!!

Anyone remember TBM's collab with Curtis Mayfield?? The title escapes me, but the song was slammin.

That was a cool song, I'm diggin' the video now. I also remember the group Meet Danny Smith, Bourgois (sic?) Tag and although not a one hit wonder, Level 42. I feel like being sixteen again.

I LOVE THIS SONG!

The mix I have on 45 has both the "UK Mix" and the "US Mix"..dont know what the difference is...i just listen to the Us mix...sounds just like the video

Love, love, love this song!! Brings back great 80's memories. This is one song that I can listen to repeatedly and never get tired of it. I especially love the "Uh tell me why" part of the song. Don't ask me why, but I just like the way it's sung.
