I love his voice - he has a lovely warble

[pawnsacrifice1]

how many cliches can you get in one song?

[uluvalu]

love this song

I believe this one looks underrated because most of the crappy UK entries (probably half of the ones that ended up 2nd) have been so underrated, whil thsi was well-rated. I do think that a few of the UK entries that did better are worse.

[komodoman]

I always liked this songs, better than most UK entries in the dire 80s (musically quite terrible for the UK), especially the brunette girl in the middle is very good... :)

@komodoman That's Katie Budd and she certainly was a hugely better singer than Rikki was.

[nikosnf]

Simply the best!!! Unfair result...

[fkfj16]

The backing dancers are amazing! Really adds a punchy element to this song

[Nudier1980]

No more than a 13th place?!!!!! Can't believe it - the song was sensational! :-)

[Nudier1980]

This is a great 80's song & performance!

Does anybody know which place this song eventually got in the competition? Ireland was the winner that year, but what about Rikki and the UK :-)

[tasosk3]

13th place, with 47 points

[lwsmackie4]

Anorak!

[tasosk3]

Hey, it's all right there on the internets - there's no way I could have remembered this myself (although I do remember loads and loads of other useless trivia, so I guess that, yes, after all, I am what you say...)

[ESCsince1968]

But a very beautful one at that!

[tasosk3]

Thank you for that! :-)

[lwsmackie4]

How would he know?
