This was shown a good deal on MTV in Europe, though probably not in the States (still a good deal of racial separation on the U.S. channel at the time). I've been looking for it, a very cool laid-back funk track and ingenious, quirky video. Gotta love the synced athletics, skiing and surfing clips which always land at the final emphatic beat: you can see it coming! Especially 1:54, that one's too funny!
Kickin' it on WILD in Boston! This song rocks the house and personifies 80's Urban Contemporary, a lost genre! Great stuff that is dated yet timeless!
I fogot to mention that I have this record on a 12" single, which I used to exercise to, so I didn't play it for years (too much like hard work and reminded me of when I was over-weight)! But now I'm nice and slim, I love it all over again.
why there's no baseball clips in this MV ?

This tune was the theme song of a Video Clip TV show in Montreal called "Music Vision" !!
That show aired around mid 80's on CFCF 12. Great memories.

80's funk at it's best! Really brings back memories with all the sports highlights.

So 80's, but oh so good. If you're dad was the guy in the glasses, then you must be very good looking. So cool, but, poor soundtrack!
