This song was a minor hit in Sweden at Christmas time in 1984. I remember, cause my parents gave me the single as a Christmas gift (cool parents or what? :) ) Anyway, it's still a great song, so MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! Love from Sweden!! Rock on!
OH...MY...GOD HEY, ANYBODY AND EVERYBODY, GOOGLE THIS FUCKING GUY'S NAME, HE IS ON ALL KINDS OF SLADE VIDEOS TALKING TO HIMSELF LIKE..'HEY THAT PROSLADE GUY IS A GENIUS"...FROM CARLPHONE
AND HE HAS PEOPLE THANKING THE TWO NAMES AT ONE LIKE "YOU ARE SO SMART AND RIGHT CARLPHONE AND PROSLADE"..OH BUT I TOLD THOSE PEOPLE THE TRUTH...MATE YOU BETTER NOT EVEN COME BACK ON.I JUST KILLED YOU...STOP BEING GAY FOR THIS GAY BAND AND GO-AWAY! PROSLADE IS CARLPHONE, ONLY WAY HE CAN MAKE FRIENDS
Another great Slade power ballad with the perfect mix of melodic piano, strong vocal, memorable lyric and some excellent lead guitar. I do prefer My Oh My but regardless this song still hits all the right notes. Sadly, Slade's last UK top 20 hit. Once 7 Year Bitch followed, it was sadly the beginning of the end, despite Slade giving it their all.
@t.eddingtontcu how many times are you going to post this gaggle of geese pish.go and listen to something you like you fcukin dickhead now piss of and leave slade alone .BEST BAND EVERRRRRR.
omg this song reminds me of old days when we were young :), this song always makes me happy, and makes me realise how fun it used to be :) SLADE ARE THE BEST!
@jon3m2007 I don t agree, this is no "commercial shite" otherwise it would have yielded big commercial success, but some managerial squabbling prevented that. This and other songs from the magnificent Rogues Gallery album are very brilliant and pure songs from the highest calibre of songwriting, the matter how much other commercial crap was outselling Slade at the time. Slade are one of the best and most diversified bands ever, however very underrated, especially their eighties albums.
Plenty of manufactured pop shite back then too, and plenty of bands writing their own stuff now.
I think its just the television having gone massively crap where music coverage is concerned gives a false impression that music is worse now than then.
Buffing GREAT! Thank you! A cool idea for a video. Is that really John Otway? Anyway, this song is up there with My Oh My and Everyday. Noddy Holder is officially a Cheeky Chappie. :)
Slade awesome....was brought up on them & this one especially reminds me of my granny who is no longer here...everytime I hear it a remember her

Does anyone know what equipment (amps, effects) Dave Hill used on this album? His tone here is immaculate. I know that he used John Birch guitars...
