Love this song but I've got to admit this has got be one of the worst videos of the 80s and this is coming from someone that usuually won't hear a bad word said about the 80s.
this video is fun yet dark...very cool. Great music from Nik and his studio musicians. The only thing good about today's music is that it only makes music of yesterday look better and be more appreciated.
I'm a metalhaead, but still loved all the 80's pop I grew up with. Human Racing was an amazing album, listen to the fretless bass on "Faces" one of my faves; loved Howard Jones as well :)
I love the naivity ot some of these 80s vids; they have a really home-made, under-produced look about them, not stylised and airbrushed to infinity. As for the song, this was always my favourite Nik Kershaw song - you can almost hear early techno in this stuff and the likes of Howard Jones, Gary Numan . Real talent - these guys know the bones of music and how it 'works'.
I loved Nik and bought his first three albums but had completely forgotten this song. It's not especially commercial but totally original. He was ahead of his time, whatever that menas. Love it!!
na c'mon I remember a mega mix or something but it was a long time ago but the mix just had the first line of chorus like all m.a.w but well early, you know dont you ! DNT YOU !
Went to hear Nik in February at Vaerket in Randers, where he did an acustic concert - only Nik and his guitar (ohh - and his "orchestra"´... *LOL*). He was amazing!! He did an acoustic version of this song.. the waltzing Dancing Girls!! Very beautiful!! If he is on tour on his own, go hear him!!
aww this reminds me of "that one girl who got away " and a wonderful day spent in cwmbran .love forever nicola xx

This track has aged really well, still sounds incredibly fresh. Not so much the video.
