I've always loved this. But if asked to create and direct a video that fit it I'm not sure I would have thought of girls in foil jumpsuits, a fire truck, fire hoses and a search light. This may be why I'm not a music video director.
It was early 80's when this tune came out. I was a teenager but I will never forget the time I was studying at HS, really shy about going out with girls.
Heard this song the first time on Radio 5 (Johannesburg SA). That was Shortwaves back then. Never knew what was being said... Great song., great memories...
My favourite of the "next generation" rockers, late 70s/early 80s. Slap in the old cassette tape...and move into the outside lane.....great stuff.....John Vincent, London, England
i come from a time when performer were all about the music...nowadays its all about the lightshow and dancers and creating a spectacle...they gotta return to the music THIS IS WHERE ITS AT!!!!!!!!!!
I got one of theese records for 25 cence then I got white out and wrote a poem on the record and that was my best friends b-day gift and she absolutely loved it
Excelente cancion Maestro, muchas gracias por este super mega regalo que nos das con esta rola, thanks very much bro, i find this song more and less 20 years !!!!...thans manm really, really thanks very much!!
You know, I honestly don't remember how I got by before Youtube. All these gems were so hard to track down/ a lot of radio stations never even heard of them. Now I'm like a kid in a candy store with this stuff. I think of a song I haven't heard in years nearly daily and run on here to locate and Favorite it. I'll be checking out your faves as well.
I am looking for his song "Roll like a wheel". Does anyone have it??

Is this rock?
Sounds kinda country. I'll say this - it's 50 times better than Garth Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Kenny Chesney or Rascal Flatts.
