  • Josh from Champaign, IlI would call this more of a bass driven song really. Such a unique use of the instrument that underlies so much of the signature sound!
  • George from Vancouver, CanadaIt's pretty crappy that the band made this song, but Limahl gets all the credit in Google lyrics searches. . .
  • Michael from Modesto, CaAs I understand it, the original band performed live for the 2010 UK Rewind festival, which I saw on the Palladia cable channel. I only vaguely recalled the song from living through the 80's but they did a fantastic live version for the festival. The bass-line is fantastic and ageless. Good job, Nick.
