I picked up the EP of this song on vinyl (murder mix)
I'm LOL at this as I picked it up just for fun and it sounds fantastic on the SDA's.:eek: it was well worth $2 for one song. And I never cared for this when it came out in the 80's.

    I have the CD. Don't know if I should admit it or not, but I saw them in concert at the Cleveland Coliseum back in the 80's.

    Flo Rida uses some of the lyrics in one of his songs which my daughter likes. The Dead or Alive version came on the radio the other day so I cranked it up for her to hear. She actually kind of liked it.

    You couldn't have said it better: So lame it's good.

    Dope made a disco/metal kinda remake of it in the late 90's that's kinda cool. It's industrialesque metal...which not everyone might dig. It's cool none the less though.

    Tim, it was the 80's. I'm willing to forgive a lot if you'll return the favor.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    It sure is, and yet its 100x better than the piece of crap original, too.

    Bad song is bad, all around.

    When my Sister handed over her Vinyl collection to me back in 91 this song was in it. Not sure what version but it is extremely long and funny to listen to now. She also Had some Lime, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Animotion to name a few.
