Why did I not know this song existed?
(Oh, also, too: Boys Don't Lie is done. If that's not a reason to indulge in some 80s divas, I don't know what is!)

Because you are not an enormous Kim Wilde fan (like I am?) Here last few records (post "retirement") have been great stuff...
But the Kids in America never heard anything except two songs by her (sadly...) You have to hunt most of her stuff down via import.
I am also shocked that I never heard this. Should have been a huge hit! Am I alone in thinking that Nena aged incredibly well?
Don't care much for the song, this video would have been much better if those two babes were doing the nasty. I know I'm not the only one thinking this.
Let's do the time warp again!
There's a cool live performance of the tune out there too...a little less leather.
Looking forward to getting a copy of BDL.
Yeah, this one should've been huge!
