Another MTV song. My main exposure to new music in the early 80’s was either MTV or Steve and Garry (they didn’t break any new music, but did popularize many of the songs from back then, several of which ended up on my Zune.)
I enjoy the driving base line, hard not to, plus he was kind of an odd looking character (of which MTV seemed to be full of at the beginning, i.e. Buggles, PhD, Men at Work, before all the pretty boy bands came along, Loverboy, Poison, Duran Duran, where the guys wore more makeup than the girls).
I am not sure how to classify this song, is it synthpop or disco (thought disco was pretty much over by 1982)? What's the difference? Listening to it reminds me that my sister bought the album and I got the .mp3 from the Zune Marketplace, maybe when I finish digitizing my albums, I’ll do hers, she has most of our (a lot of albums were family-owned back then) Monkees and Beatles, while I got the Gary Lewis and the Playboys and Paul Muriat.
Lucky me.
