Wow...weird comment. I, too, heard it after basic training. Actually, WAY after. I was living in San Diego, going to commissioning school, and heard it on 91X.
I really appreciate this video and song. I loved it back in 1987 when it came out. I first heard it on the radio on a late summer night after returning from basic training and enjoying the night air. I seriously drove an extra few miles to finish listening to the song and taking in all of the moment.
@deussolinvictus I was 17 the first time I heard it, but like you, I kept driving just to hear it play out. But I had just bought the tape - I'd heard a good bit of his work with other artists as well as his being the husband of singer chica Sam Phillips (who ironically also later played the mute German blonde in Die Hard with a Vengeance).
This whole album was a great piece of the zeitgeist in 1987...

Such a cool song, and video. The lyrics were written by T-Bone's 9 year old daughter! How cool is that?
