[superfatman900]

DIGIIIIIIMON!!!!!!

[FuckYouLetMeLogIn]

You notice how she's not even singing into a mic?

Lip synching was all part of the game back then, especially on shows like Top Of The Pops.

[MrDavidbaum]

@FuckYouLetMeLogIn at least she is talented enough to write her own excellent songs jackass

[damien19735]

@MrDavidbaum She didn't write this song, her brother did.

[Antoni0e]

wooooooow!

[kahlesstiberius]

im not knocking kim, im knocking TOTP! top of the lip syncs! before you know it they'll all be doing it, oh wait.....!!!

[killerdillr]

She gave her first concert live in Denmark. In a small city called Slagelse and then in Copenhagen, where I saw her. Met her recently and had small chat about the old days.

[Ammertann]

[chilliconsylvian]

Ah Kim. I remember having skinny legs and jeans to match too. Ho Hum-pass the custard creams.

[ofthan]

[rippleway123]

Fantastic! Kim is sooooooo gorgeous, I remember as a kid part of me turning to stone when she was on tv!! I think it's happening again!!

[JOSECHETATRIBUTE]

I can never get enough of this song! Love Kim Wilde!

[ryolite38]

Crikey Moses but it's now i've noticed her resemblance to a young Kim Basinger.

[ThrustAvis2000]

I was unborn at 1981, but i love this great Song.. very nice :)

[83Brokenwings]

Ha! i love this! such memories..and btw is there any song that witch Cascada HASN'T covered? i was lookin at the list and she's remixed this one too!! Grrrrrrr!!

[szgy81]

I was 0, haha! :)

This is a great song. I like the feeling of the early 80's.

[Catybriek]

O.o Didn't This have Somethign To Do With The Digimon movie?

[tchurros]

@Catybriek yep yep its the theme song of Digimon 2 the movie hehe it never levead my mind since then, and much more after the clip that used to pass on cartoon network.

[tchurros]

@Catybriek sorry i commited a mystake the music is from the band LEN and was made like a promo to the Digimon the movie not for the digimon 2 the movie hehe sorry ^.^

[superfatman900]

@tchurros Digimon was an afterthough from pokemon. But I love them both.

[Batmoon245]

[xyasm1nx]

[barricader6]

ruined?they stole the song!

[jewishlicious]

nostalgia. great song

[dmcallister1506]

Growing up in the 70's and 80's, I had posters of this gorgeous woman all over my walls.

[LastRealSoldier]

WUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I LOVE THIS FUCKING GREAT SONG !!!!!!! my dream *-*

[6sixsound]

new york to east california?

[zomgkitten]

yep, thems the lyrics

[irnbrubloody32]

Stunning girl...Great music

[emeraldxm]

She never looked comfortable infront of the camera.

[mgparis]

I agree - but in her defense, it was her first song and one of her earliest TV appearances, I can't blame her for being nervous :)

She's amazing in front a live audience though, and of course with age she got more confident (didn't we all?)

[jaialaisavant]

Playing TOTP was also pretty weird b/c you were never allowed to actually play the song. You had to play along to a tape and lip sync everything. Notice no microphone and the drums dont match up. I would probably be nervous too. Being her first hit and an early tv appearance, i think she did awesome. and what a great song.

[keijimuto]

At least she had a voice compared to nowadays singers.

[MrAlecZ1]

@emeraldxm This is the beginning, when she had no experience. Later Kim became more relaxed. But most likely it may be she was such an image.

[monkeycheesecake]

please tell me someone else realized that this is the base for jonas bros kids from the futer song?

[Ryeuni]

Doi.

I think its very obvious

[finalroyale]

i love this song!

[maverickrazor]

Definitely

[dang9669]

Love the song, but Kim, show a little skin! I bet she had a smokin' body, but you wouldn't know it from her videos.

[edkollin]

What I still want to know is where the hell East California is located. She was in in the news the other day advising Amy Winehouse to get off drugs and sip a glass of wine um not really a good idea. Still a really catchy song.

[dystopika]

Billions of Blue Blistering Barnacles! I ruddy loved this when I was a kid!!!

[JollyBrownGiant]

SO HOT... but she's old now... like me :(
