This was written between the guitarist Jane Weidlin and British singer Terry Hall of the Specials, they were having an affair and it wasn't very secretive, he wrote her a letter and some of the lyrics were included. They then created a song out of it. Not only did The Go Gos then record it but so did Terry Halls band Fun Boy Three(they sound a little different) but both bands had a hit with their version at the same time.

The early 80's were the Saturday morning on the modern era. Bright, sunny, innocent but action packed and lots of cartoon colors. The best part about the music was that it still required real singing and playing, so even the pop stuff had soul and staying power. The drums had swing and bounce, the guitars and vocals had humanity in them. Every track a one of a kind slice of goodness committed to tape and transferred to vinyl. Think I'll go back for another listen.

True story, I was a cashier in SoCal [1997] in a State wide Home Improvement store. Jane Wiedlin (Bassist for The Go-Gos) came through my line, twice, both in the same day. I knew who she was, she knew I knew who she was. I didn't say a word or draw any attention to her. I treated her with the same respect as all are other customers. That's why she came through my line the 2nd time. That 2nd time, she made deliberate eye contact with me, with soft appreciative eyes. She never once carried herself in such a manner that a lot of celebrities do. Oh, The Go-Gos hail from Newbury Park, Ventura County, Ca. My neck of the woods.

Co-written by Terry Hall of The Specials/Fun Boy Three. The Specials were one of the better ska bands and Fun Boy Three was a very interesting more musically varied offshoot composed of the three front men for The Specials. Both well worth checking out. Fun Boy Three did a version of this, but they have more interesting song to try.

"We Got the Beat", "Vacation", "Head over Heals". "Beatnik Beach", "The Whole World lost its Head". Also many of their early stuff is very punk rock (late '70s, early '80s), check those out, too. They grew out of the LA , California punk scene. They all ended up having good solo careers as well.

Also, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" movie, probably launched the "Go-Go's" into the stratosphere.

Early 80’s summer fun vibe. This is what this was then and that’s what this is still. Plain and simple.

THE GO-GOS documentary is excellent. Yet another story of a great band torn apart by ego, drugs and money.

Jane also had a pretty successful solo career. Her videos for Blue Kiss and Rush Hour are worth checking out. Also, though criminally underviewed on KZfaq, Charlotte’s band The Graces have a couple of songs Lay Down Your Arms and Perfect View that I think are really great.

I'm a Bloke, Australian Bloke and loved this song especially the Bass with the sweet harmonies as a teenage Punk. Had a Pop vibe but Punk ethos.

One of the great pop bass lines. Makes the song.

3:33 If you immediately started hearing the next song on the album, "How Much More", at the end of this song, then you listened to Beauty and The Beat too many times when you were young like I did. That album is burnt into my brain.

I had a crush on Jane Weidlin back in the day (she sings the bridge and melody at the end). I even bought her solo record (or at least one of them) and wasn't too happy with it. But still, I look back at the sounds they produced and they were fun.
