@MrChiliman2 Don't be jealous because of the music. Be jealous because we actually had fun. There weren't as many fences, malls, laws. We actually did things. We didn't have internet and youtube so we partied hard and had fights and burned things, and blew things up. And people were healthier, not as fat and not as lazy. Ufortunately, everyone got old, except me. They all had kids, and "grew up". Twats.

yes it was a privilege to live the 80s the best music back then i miss it i need a time machine.

my two friends and I were 19-22 when this came out and we'd blast it every night from our alphabet city apartment balcony thinking we were so lucky and happy to be alive!

To Tracy and Marta...We Played! Love you always.

Part of my 700+ only-80s songs on my mp3 player and laptop.

The 80s, a decade where music came from the heart first, paycheck second. Not like today's music.

@Pharenheitz At least you're honest about it

I have always loved this song . Much of my life has been spent alone by choice and so I watch everyone else . Mostly its very entertaining but sometimes loanly . I was born in 1974 so I have seen a lot of things come and go and heard a lot of songs I come back to this from time to time for no reason known to me .

I still love it

The vid makes me smirk now, but back then I was in love for the first time. MTV had just started, and was playing virtually only three vids: Motels, A Flock of Seagulls' "And I Ran", and Fleetwood Mac's "Gypsy". He had told me that we were only a summer thing, so I cried to the Motels for a month. Doesn't matter now (we've been married 25 years), but at the time, the only things that mattered were his eyes, and the Motels' line, "We lied about each other's strengths..." That's staying power.

@Pharenheitz It's difficult being honest with one's own mental capacity; hope things improve for you, since no one should live life in constant unhappy and terminal positions.
