I remember that song when I was 7. Orighinally I thought it was from South Africa for some reason, rather than from a gay Jewish man in New York.

The synthesiser armed division is quite funny and its agreat one hit wonder, what ever happened to Mr Wilder.

I LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE this song....................

What about ..........THE WORD by Cameo.................I wonder if the guy ever looks back and thinks that the fire engine cock piece he wore in the clip looks so gayyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....

The 12" dance version is, HOTT!!

Yeah. I love that version, because it featured the steel drum...

I remember this song, but never knew who sang it or what he looked like.

I'm glad I saw this thread. I borrowed a CD-R from a friend and ripped some of the songs into my computer and this song is one of them. I couldn't remember the name of the artist so I entered the artist as "Unknown" in the computer. I thought I remembered it as Matthew Wilder but I wasn't sure and I didn't want to be one of the dumbasses like the ones on youtube who aren't sure and list songs such as Yarbrough and People's "Don't Stop The Music" as The SOS Band.

Oh yes, most 12 Inch versions usually are much better than the original. Sooooo many great 12 Inches from that era from both the R&B and pop worlds.

Same here. And there were several pop songs that made it onto our local R&B stations and they would only play the 12 Inch versions and the original versions never made it onto the stations. This one and also....

Yes - Owner Of A Lonely Heart

Toni Basil - Mickey

Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Want To Have Fun

The Romantics - Talking In Your Sleep

I think it's a cute song and always liked it

Don't believe not one minute that folks up in here didn't bop their heads to this at least once....I love it. Boom there it is!

Don't u hate the fact, that the woman starts talking half way through the song, there are better clips of this song on You tube, one is an extended version, with Thomas the Tank engine trains in the background.
