I woke up this morning with this song in my head after sleeping. I don't know why, but it was.

This song came out when I was a little kid. Reminds me of my childhood. I quickly associate this song with roller skating. I remember we used to roller skate to this song at Skate Depot in Cerritos wayyy back in the D.A.Y. (man, that was a long time ago).

It's rumoured this song is about drug abuse. Nevertheless, it's a nice 80's torch pop ballad.

I learning something new everyday. Recalling the lyrics it did have this drug fiend vibe to it. What exactly are toy soldiers -- crack cocaine?

Martika & KIDS INC.

Ha! I remember Kids, Inc. I used to watch that all the time on the Disney Channel.

I remember I loved this song so much, it was the first cassette single that I stole from Kouls department store.

'We all fall down, like a toy soldier'

where is martika now?

LOL!

I was in an "adult" store in LA and this song was playing on the loudspeakers. As I was perusing the variety of lubricants a clerk threw open the door to the stockroom and as he swung his arms in the air he said "Everybody!" and proceeded to loudly sing the song.

I laughed my ass off! The looks on the faces of the other patrons was priceless
