I was 10 years old when this song came out in 1980. I’m 54 and can still listen to this song by Pete over and over.

What I love about Pete is that he can write monster rock anthems like Baba O’Riley and Won’t get fooled again then turn around and write the catchiest pop song you’ve ever heard. This song is pure ear candy 🍭.

Catchy with an organ similar to that from a baseball game.

This is the video where I discovered drummer Simon Phillips when it premiered on MTV. I have been a fan since. Just today, he signed one of my drum boxes. he is THE MAN!

Yes amazing drum performance here. I don’t think I really had the ears to appreciate it in 1980 but revisiting it now, wow!

I remember it on the radio in 1980 at 16 yrs old on Knoxville's WOKI. A lot of us kids recorded off the air back then. . The tape still plays after all these years.

One of his best tunes, hands down. Such a simple ditty, but with so much soul and attention to arrangement, dynamics and cadences.

This song was the only thing my dad seemed to enjoy about taking us to the movies to see Look Who's Talking, it was the only thing I remember him mentioning about the movie as we left. I feel worse about making him sit through Wayne's World 2, that one had no redeeming qualities lol. I take that back, he did laugh at fake Jim Morrison and the Indian.
