Obsession-Animotion

Anyone else obsessed with this song? I love the hook and synths. I associate the song with citytv in Toronto cause the instrumental was used for a show called Fashion Television in the 90s

there was a lot to love in 1984, but this was surely part of it!

for me, the best part of this song is that SLAP BASS.

simple, but VERY effective & VERY funky.

It's the perfect song for runway shows. I remember there used to be some fashion show either on VH1 or on a Canadian TV station that always used this song. Loved it.
