this song totally brings to my mind a time, a place and people i knew. 1986 or 87, St Louis and my first lover Carlton and his roommate Kenny Wayne, who made me a compilation tape that had this song on it.
I don't know I am digging this video very much... LOL.. The song is a frikkin' classic.. Shyt I remember skating to this in Roxy in NYC.. Damn ,that was the JAM!
Oh Please.. So nowits "White music"? Howmany blackproducers produce whiteartists? Is Justin Timberlakes music blackbecause Timbalandis his producer? Its black cuz he is a culyure vulture.. You crackkkas crackmeupwith your bullshit
It's a ok song, and I will tell you why it is nothing to be compared to Italo Disco. "Is it really magic in the air?"... Poor english artists... C.C. Catch never had a doubt. She said: "I can feel it everywhere, there's magic in the air". English songs are magicless and Italo Disco itself is magic. "será que é mesmo magia que tem no ár?" Pelo amor do sapatinho, vai viver negão.
Maybe so, but for this particular time, this was the most "musically sophisticated" dance song out there. When u think about it, Culture Club sort of "owned" this space, until this song/group came out. Musically (and compositionally), this is up there with Jamiroquai, Scritti Politti, Level 42 and Nik Kershaw. Being (or not being) gay, is completely secondary to being able to compose music this good. Also, I seriously doubt that a single country has a monopoly on writing "great" dance songs :-)
wow 1982...geez 27 years ago already but even as a little kid i loved this song......though the video is horrible lolz,mustve cost 20 dollars to make it lol....superb song,still a blast to listen to
putain j'ai 14 ans et je ses pas avant j'entendai toujour mon pere mais oncle me dire mais ses toute notre jeunesse sa sa change de vos musique de sauvage je netai pas d'accord mais apre un peu de temp piouuuu le funk me fait trop kiffer je sui a fond dedans
Maybe this guy looks incredibly gay, but geez this song makes me feel so great. I used to listen to it at age of 14-15, now im 19. Im one of the lucky kids who recieved a great muscial culture from their parents.
I really love this song just as much now as i did when it first came out. I can definitely relate to the lyrics of this song in more ways than one. It's just an illusion. Imagination, Imagination, what a terrible thing to waste. irvinbean123
That is exactly how it was at the time.
