i heard this song on the radio in november 83 1 time and did not hear it again until 2003 lol im sure it got airplay . i love this song thanks for posting it i still my "45" lol
brings back memories of arrivin in skeggie for the start of a weeks hols.. went straight into a quiet pub near the beach...got mi pint.. then over to the jukebox and slapped this song on!!! one of the best songs of the 80's and still sounds good tday!!
One of the last great songs before the evil spirit generated by Thatcher/Reagan/The Ayatollah changed the world setting the building blocks for what we have today.
@CanadaguyRudey Seriously man... Summers of 83, 84 and 85 were the best... great, positive music... that just made you want to dance, smile and if you lived in california, go to beach!
i was in the same year at school as bassist chris bostock he knocked 3 years off his age.like me he was born in 1959.wikapedia says 1962.hi chris if you see this
YO THIS SONG CAME OUT WHEN I WAS LIKE 1 OR 2, IM 27 TODAY AND THIS IS 1 OF THE BEST SONGS I HAVE EVER HEARD, SO UPLIFTING, GOES 2 SHOW MUSIC IS SO POWERFUL, IT DOESNT MATTER HOW OLD IT IS, A GREAT SONG IS A GREAT SONG, PERIOD.
@gmaxinet yeah, "Bagets" - wonder how Judd Apatow got to include that song on the end credits of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"? Was he - secretly - a "Bagets" fan?
How about being sorry for us who grew up in the former communist block countries and never got the chance to watch TOTP live.....therefore having to make up for it now....
Thank God for Radio Luxemboung circa 1983-1989....
I feel so sorry for the the people who didn't grow up in this generation, of not knowing the thrill of Thursday night when you could watch great song like this, being performed on top of the pops.
I'll put any money on it, if we where to educate the younger one's today with this type of music, i bet they would LOVE IT. we knew how to enjoy ourselfs back then. Bring back the Joboxers and lets get lucky
I remember JoBoxers went to Topman in Newcastle me and me mates wagged school to go and see them, Tim March? the BMX rider was there a few weeks later, Yeah and so was me and me mates again.
oh, i so wish was alive back den, i dont know but they find it weird that i like this kind of songs, im only 20, is this the 70's or 80's i dont know but this is just some of the songs i so like to hear.
"i've been fooled by love so money times etc"..sigh..just wiping a tear away..great memories..one of my favourite singles of the 80s..timeless gem..thanks for posting
i thought they sounded a lot like dextys midnight runners with this soul type beat i thought they were great and i was annoyed by the fact they seemed to disappear after only two hits..what a shame id like them to come back and do a few more
