I was just out of high school and at a bar with a friend of mine. This video was on and always freaked me out for some reason.. It was so 80's...perfect.
luv when i see the old 80's video's... me and sis used to watch them on channel 61 (back in da days) in phoenix,az... and half the time reception was screwed-up..we did'nt care we loved the music....
This song was heavily played in a Guatemalan video program, but not on the radio, during 1982. She was very popular in Latin America during those days. Later she made a sucessfull spanish album in 1984.
It's got a very interesting track that I never heard until finding this video. It so new wave rock, almost ska and very untypical of her more mainstream pop sound. Pretty good but not a favorite.
This is one of the best Sheena Easton recording and one of the best 80's tracks, it represents a forgotten sound and if you listen carefully to the lyrics you will see the allerogy of a girl in a relationship and a girl trapped the 9 to 5 (excuse the pin), routine, un appreciated! She shows fabulous vocal range - ENJOY!!! Maybe the transition between Sheena the bond singer and Sheena the new romantic was just to much for the public?!?! SHAME, the critics loved it!
You seem to know Sheena's attributes. That is great, she is a voice to be known and appreciated. In spite of her obvious beauty, she actually has a voice.
I always wonder why this song was a single, not bad but the album Madness, Money And Music had better selections that could have been singles, just as well I still like the song.
This song wasn't successful and received modest radio airplay on top 40 radio. I remember her performing this on Solid Gold. Sheena does have a great recording voice.
I like this song! Always beena guilty pleasure!! Being that this song came out the year I was born, I never even knew it was a single let alone a video for it! I was so glad to find this on Youtube! Thanks for sharing!
And yeah she had better songs, but this was pop cheese, so perfect for the 80's.
Man, can you tell EMI was thinking Kim Wilde was their future at this point? Strange choice for the lead single off of "Money Madness and Music", it stalled at #57 and sent her into the clutches of Greg Mathieson (hot off of the Laura Branigan singles) for her next effort.

This is exactly the song that got me into pop music back in 1982 when I was thirteen.
Really a special video for me in that sense.
