It sound to me now like what it is: a genious masterpiece. Almost 30 later sound even much better. Greatest decade for music 80s....any group close in quality to them now???. None
This song just kind of steals you into their world for a couple of minutes. It is eery, and always gave me the chills..Not scary, just extremely different and undeniable..
Music was rocking in the 80s thanks to euro pop sound.......then the hair bands killed it in the late 80s, and ever since, rock and pop has not been the same....
This may make me sound silly, but I thought for a long period of time that this was a U2 song. I had a difficult time finding it on here, because I was searching for "Western Girls U2." I didn't know the exact words.
This really got me listening to music as a kid. It was 1993, and I was about nine. The song was playing on MTV, when MTV was still worth watching. I didn't realise how old it was at the time, but I have bought nearly every album since. They still remain today as my favorite pop group.
When in Tokyo did ya stop at Gas Panic club in Ropponggii, I was there early 90's and had a blast, also did they have those footlong pink hotdogs with the sauce and cheese when you were in Sydney LOL, great times there.
I trip out that nobody knows about the Eastern Europe and Western and to not mention on the factor. Hey I just read about the facts only a few months ago and Im 29!
