umm.. Rick Springfield's 1985 version is much better. :-(

[nzoz1980]

@MaxMikeLatino you are only saying that because you can't think for yourself and you allow what radio plays to influence you.

[rminister1971]

nzoz, any idea what the time count is doing on the video, would it be countdown's episode time count.

[nzoz1980]

@rminister1971 I got this video from a trader... I got no idea why there's a time code on this and other old CD episodes..

[TasmanianFeral]

If you really like this type of music then move to North West Tasmania where this is all we get on local radio. It's considered recent hits!

[divernater]

[ThePissypete]

one of the greatest 80s songs around!



[eazybe1]

Truly an Australian treasure. 80's Aussie music was (and still is) the best.

[iloatheyummymummys]

One of the most under-rated voices in Australian music.
