  • Fred Avolio from MarylandI *think* it is Tougher than diamonds, BREAKS like cream. when cream curdles it is called breaking. Another site suggests RICH. I think BREAKS makes more sense juxtaposed with the UNBREAKABLENESS of a diamond.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyWas nominated for Best Song at the 1985 Academy Awards {Lost to "Say You, Say Me" from the movie "White Nights"}!!!
  • Brian from Boston, MaGreat song yeah I know most will write it off as a cheesy 80's song but I liked it...Also I think Back to The Future part 2 was underrated.Most people think part 3 is the better sequel not me.Part 2 had a darkness to it that I liked
  • John from Grand Island, Ny"I'm sorry son, you're just too darned loud"....classic stuff. That's the funniest scene in the movie.
  • George from Calumet City, IlWhat a truly spectacular song!
  • Dave from Cardiff, Wales"The Power Of Love" was arguably the most popular song-title of the 1980s - at least four different artist released unrelated songs with this name which bcecame big hits (the other three I'm thinking of are Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Jennifer Rush (whose version was also successfully covered by Celine Dion a decade later) and Luther Vandross, although Huey's version remains probably the best-known worldwide, including the UK where it made the Top 20 twice on two different releases within a year of each other, and continues to played to death by radio to this day.
