The song reminds me of Baltimore, always has ... always did, just Joe's voice and the electric way about it...pure Baltimore. Fantastic song, one of the all time faves. Joe's just great...all he does is great, electrifying, rich.
i had this tune stuck in my head for weeks..it got so bad that i went online and went through every eighties song trying to figure out who sang it and the actual name....with the help of my awesome sister here i am...this song is way BOSS
@COCOALUV4LIFE I had the exact same problem- I heard it on the radio at like 4 in the mourning- had to consult some older siblings and my parents to figure it out-then my dad pulled out the tape of it- Hell yes- rocking it in the car!
Out of curiosity, where was the source for this audio? It doesn't have the previous track fade-in like the Night and Day album has at the beginning, but it's not chopped off either like many compilations. Joe Jackson's "Collected" has this version, but it's newer than this upload...
@ub40jojo Wow, that's actually possible....but more literally, it's just about going out and living it up, rather than being slaves to being couped-up due to technology.
@cookieheart100 lmao! thats good, u have a ear for good music. i rememberthis song from back when i was like 2. my uncle used to play it all the time and i heard it playing in the mall one day and waited until it stopped playing to see who the artist was lol.
Wow took me the better part of an hour to figure out what the fuck this song was called or who it was by- i just remembered like 5 words from it and had to search love that piano.
@FutureEmperor420 Ha ha, I wrote a song and a part of it reminded me of another song. I couldn't remember which song it was. One night playing dominoes with a buddy and satellite radio on tv this song came on. I jumped up and yelled "Shit sandwich, this is the song I've been trying to remember"! Good tune, ended up not sounding like my song so much, SCORE!
What a COOL SONG. I remember hearing it, for the first time, in Pittsburgh, as a child ... on one of the "black stations." Funny that he's the nerdiest, whitest looking dude EVER. DOESN'T MATTER. Music THIS good always transcends all that BS. Absolutely LOVE IT on Vice City too ...
I've always liked this song. I heard it in a public bathroom yesterday and tried to actually listen to the lyrics. Went home and here I am now. Thank goodness I had to pee at that time!
YES I WOULD CERTAINLY SAY THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE SONGS IVE EVER HEARD. GREAT BALANCE.. BOTH VOCAL AND BEATS BLEND SO WELL...NOTHING DOMINATES THE SONG IT JUST FLOWS SO WELL.
Makes me think of that Nip/Tuck episode where Christian is banging that chick and his tit implant (he had breast cancer) starts moving around. That show RULED!
@cheryllynnmc I didn't author this comment. My ex husband did. I treasure this song. My Google email was hacked a month or so ago, so this and other unkind and and stupid comments that have been attributed to me are his handiwork.
"You - Can dress in pink and blue just like a child"
Even nearly 28 years after when I first heard this song on the radio (back in December 1982), this is the particular lyric which I always remember the most whenever I happen to hear Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out."
(And, I also just turned 40 years of age on June 26, 2010, as well.)
I totally agree w/sgtrosenberg; THIS SONG IS THE REAL SHIT!!
