  • Pete from Nowra, Australiaif this song came out in the 70's 80's Ronson's name wouldnt even be mentioned on the record, just the singer
  • Luke from Manchester, Uk1. It Ripped off Jungle Love by Morris Day & The Time.
    2. bruno stepping back and kissing himself is taken from the Rev. James Brown.
  • Barbara Stirling from HollywoodHi Guys - Thanks. Love the interesting information. You may want to edit the part about where the video was shot. I have little doubt that some of it was, indeed, shot in New York City. However, the lion's share of the "dancing and singing in the streets" parts were shot on the "New York Street" area of 20th Century Fox's lot. I bet my life, guys. I used to work there for many years and walked down that street a jillion times. It's unmistakable. Wikipedia confirms the location.
  • Tj from UsaMove over Bruno I think Fleur East now owns this song!
