In the eighties, I loved this song. Ian Hunter was the former lead singer of Mott The Hoople. This song peaked at #25 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs in 1983. I had the album and the cassette that I wore out in my car tape deck.
It’s not a great album…but this song was one of the bright spots. It’s one of those songs I never hear now except maybe at a grocery store and it’s a shame. It was a nice jangly song in the synth-heavy 80’s now pretty much forgotten.

I love this song. The video seems to have been influenced by the movie Arthur.

Nice song but Hunter’s voice makes this track doesn’t. A great voice, lots of character — better than I remember

I don’t recall ever hearing this before. It almost sounds a little too ‘Bon Jovi’ for my taste, but Hunter’s voice saves it. It’s catchy.

His voice has a personality all it’s own. It’s one you don’t hear every day.

Pretty good flashback. Think i remember the video more than the song…he was no Michael Jackson or The Police in terms of radio play back then.

Never heard this song before today. The video is a time capsule of those times.

One of those songs that briefly touched the charts and it caught my ear because it was older sounding.

Now this one I can understand. It was one of those that touched the charts and vanished. I always liked it because of the guitars…it was released in the middle of the synth new wave bands.
