I miss the music of the 80s and 90s, brilliant stuff..thanks for posting..each song bring forth great memories and a smile to the lips.thanks for posting
I started this song off, and for some reason during the intro I felt like I couldn't breathe... this kind of music evokes so many memories in me. I only wish I'd been there when it was all released.
@RedThebigOne That's NOT a "cheesy car." It's a (mint condition) Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (this specimen circa 1969 or so). Perhaps the most beautiful looking car ever on a road. (But that's just me.)
Superb song (you're right) — one with which I was well infused during my own youth... Some kind of tape-loop, indeed...
I was 11 years old when this was originally released and I LOVED it then, well I have just found this today and am now 41 and you know what?
I still bleeding LOVE this track, it brings back many memories of childhood some bad, but most some very good memories of a times past and misspent childhood!!! I really like this track more than words can explain... THANKS! ;-)
I read somewhere that when they were recording this in the studio the lead singer was actually congested/sick when they recorded the song. Funny how it worked out like that since this is prob my FAVORITE OMD track.
@danielnogueira At 1.56 you can see the Karmann logo, the same used today, there's a factory here were I live in Portugal ;) Plus you can see more VW's on the weels. =)
Is it just me or is he driving the Ferris Bueller car? Maybe this is where John Hughes got the idea, from watching this video. Since Ferris Bueller's Day Off came out 5 years after when this song was released.

@ganeitzke This song depresses me when I think how the standard of pop songwriting has declined in 30 years. From this to N Dubz. That's progress folks!
