i was 11 years old. I used to watch the music television programs hoping they would play this song. I didn't know the name of this song. But i really loved it. And, 30 years later, i finally find it here... this is the song i will take with me until the end of my days, this is the song i waited 30 years to find. I really love this song!!! Thanks for the upload!!!

I heard this on BBC Radio 2 yesterday lunchtime on Jeremy Vine's show - since then I can't stop listening to it. It's been donkey's years since I last heard this. A typically 80s song and whenever I stop to listen to it and think, I can so easily think back to the 80s. Though not much of the 80s, what with being born in '84.

The Buggles started it all. Video killed the radio star. David Bowie(ashes to ashes, funk to funky, we know major tom's a junkie). There was a band called Shoes that had a couple tunes. Yeah man, early MTV was cool. Only for about 3 years though. Then VH1 would play the good stuff. But early VH1. Any one remember that. Completely weird stuff from bands I never even heard of.
