80's CHEESE???  This song is from my childhood. Cheese my butt.

Ok autustic person who said "anyone who likes this song should get cancer"it's obvious you lack social skills and that you can't keep your mouth shut. Martha Davis (lead singer) write this song because it symbolizes the changes that happen when one falls in love and loses virginity. Obviously you don't understand love .

Practically brings a tear to the eye.

Next friday I'll watch her sing this song live in a very small night club called Ramona Backstage lounge here in San Diego. It will be a great night.

In the spring of my young life I met a wonderful girl from St Albert in Kelowna BC in the early 80s. Michel if your out there miss you like hell and I see your face every time I hear this song 30 years and its if it were yesterday. Remember singing this face to face with you it hurts yet its beautiful like you .

I know a lot of people don't think so, but I loved the 80's. the music, hair & clothes were so much fun. I danced my life through it!

Martha Davis is a remarkable woman. She had her first daughter at age 15 (she is the female lead Iin this video) and started her band the motels at age 20 when her daughters were both under the age of 6. Despite being a young single mom with 2 young daughters she became successful!

I agree, this person probably learned about prison love

Lead singer Martha Davis has said in various radio interviews that the song was written while reflecting on her life and "how you know summer is ending when you hear the ice cream truck go by for the last time and you know he won't be back for a while". An ice cream truck appears throughout the music video
