The bridge is not as great as the main theme (it sounds a liitle mccartnish pipe of peace) but the body of the song is great.

I was sat waiting for my mammogram today and was my 6th year clear after breast cancer. And this was on the radio in the background and I'd never heard it before. It's not my cup of tea at all and myself and my husband were laughing because it was slightly muffled in the background and it sounded more like they were singing open your arse and shaking your arse. I've never been a Human League fan anyway but at least it made me laugh while sat waiting for test. Every time I go for the check up I am terrified they will tell me I have cancer again. Now I'll just remember this song every time I go and it will make me smile to myself 🤣

And my hero 4 ever making a dream of mine 2 come true. 4 me 2 meet up with the Human League. And m8 I even think that Joanne Catherall ♥️ has got some magic powers inside her ♥️ 2 wards me. And she doesn't know it. But Joanne Catherall ♥️ is partly responsible 4 the best night of my life so far. Even if the unexpected free taxi home from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question wasn't planned. And m8 it cost Southern railway company over £100 4 the taxi from Brighton 2 Portsmouth where I live in and play Chess 4 on the night in question. And all because I had missed the last train home and 4 got 2 bring my meds with me. And that's a true story.
