Actually the song was recorded in 1979 but wasn't really well known until this video came out on MTV in 1981. That's when it really took off......"Jagar"
@Hirsute63 shes playing a waitress in the video thats ironic because she said she became a musician because she didnt want to be a waitress it took her ten years to break into the music business
god damn ive never had crush on anybody famous but holly shit...... the 70s were amazing i can just tell bye the music and body that lived during those years are bless....... girls were amazing back then.....now everything so fucking fake what the hell happen to world....
As for girls back then... the slutty ones mimicked Madonna (complete w/ heavy make up, big hair, & lots of necklaces). That's pretty damn fake. A lot of high school girls preferred the bookish, slightly sexy look. Just alluring enough for the boys to notice, while keeping it tasteful so parents wouldn't bitch! ;)
wow...that guitar sound from James Honey-Scott is classic...his death was a loss...this is, by all accounting, my FAVORITE pretenders song...just listen to the way the final guitar chord just fades off...brilliant!
Anyone would have the original video for Middle Of The Road? It was just the band playing in a stage painted like a road floor and background, with actors playing protesters and policemen during the band´s playing. That´s what I remember.
Does this sound a little faster to anybody? (In comparison with other uploads on YT).
I kinda like it.
