With a bouncing keyboard riff and a mild Jamaican flavor, this was by far the biggest hit for Wilder, who scored his only other Top-40 in 1984 with "The Kid's American." His solo career never took off, but he had a resurgence as a songwriter and producer. Among his accomplishments are producing the No Doubt album Tragic Kingdom, writing "Reflection" for Christina Aguilera, and appearing as the singing voice of Ling in the movie Mulan.
If we ever develop time technology we should find a way to obliterate the late 70's through the late 80's. That time period was made of bad decisions, hair gel, and lots and lots of cocaine.
When I listen to this song, I feel like getting drunk on pinacoladas, having sex with chicks in bikinis and ending up in a coconut tree the morning after !!
This easily could've been a black reggae singer singing this, but a white guy? Lol. And what was the point of the female host coming and interrupting? That was the lameness.
this is class and for all you young bucks out there talking shit listen to the song again and learn. the 80;s is a top decade for music not like the crap today wake up and smell the flowers and take your self out of your little bubble and pray we get future artists like matthew wilder who can hold a tune. end,
@dellymeatz It's because when this came out, keyboards were relatively new, and many people wanted to use them to make songs, so that's why a lot of songs from the 80's involve keyboards.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I like this , I did when it came out & I do now ! Blimey , 28 years ago , doesn't seem possible . Shame about the moustache though ( his , not mine , I'm a woman ) . Oh and can anyone tell me why that woman appears half way through ? The words pointless & superfluous spring to mind .
Was THIS the song in the Chase commercial...?
