Haven’t heard this in awhile - I was workin’ at my first radio station when their first album was released in ‘84 and played it quite a bit back then.

An extended version with added guitar and “cold ending” of a song co-written by Bryan Adams and covered by a few artists, Joe Cocker the one to make it a hit when it appeared on the soundtrack for the 1989 movie “An Innocent Man” starring Tom Selleck. Some useless music trivia here ondeck for your Saturday.

Her first album from ‘79 had her breakout hit “Heartbreaker” but I always kinda liked this album track.

I heard Icicle Works “Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream”) in the Goodwill Thrift Store #today. Nice. Good job keeping me in the store longer.
I used to play that cassette SO LOUD when my parents weren’t home.

“Take On Me” by A-ha is the best music video ever. By far. No comparison.

I even watched “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel to test this hypothesis. Nope. “Take On Me” wins.

“Get Into the Groove” by Madonna.

“Desperately Seeking Susan” was such an iconic movie. Madonna movies became synonymous with bad acting but this movie was great because she was basically playing herself. And everyone couldn’t get enough of a woman who did exactly what she wanted to while being unapologetically sexy and didn’t care what anyone thought. #80spop #80smusic

How did any of us watch the “Watch Me Up Before You Go Go” video in the 80s and not suspect George Michael was gay? I mean, really. #80spop #80smusic

Watching old MTV videos on YouTube. Did you know that when Phil Collins first became popular, concertgoers would throw Cabbage Patch dolls on stage at him? Do y’all even know what Cabbage Patch dolls are? #80spop #80smusic

Continuing the Kim Wilde theme from yesterday I feel beholden to make Laurent Voulzy's hit "Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde" this week's vintage video. A simple story of a troubled young man who lives in a truck, spends his days dressing as a bargain-bucket Prince and playing a Kim-Wilde themed pinball machine, and his nights grinding against vertical surfaces and obsessing about her. Needless to say his girlfriend isn't happy.

I loved this 1982 documentary about Kim Wilde! Her calm intelligence and modesty make her very likeable. I love seeing her go round the charity shops, and one thing that really strikes me is how ahead of her time her style is. By 1989 the world and his dog would be wearing that slightly 50s-inflected leather jacket and jeans look. And she actually looks half-decent with a mullet, which is almost impossible

Sooner or later your legs give way, you hit the ground
Save It For Later
Don’t run away and let me down
Sooner or later you'll hit the deck, you'll get found out
Save It For Later
Don’t run away and let me down
You let me down

Irene Cara's "What a Feeling" was playing in the supermarket today as I shopped - probably one of the best pop songs of its era. Having said that, my misheard lyric of "Take your pants off/and make it happen" endures.

At the senior center gym this morning, and the 'oldies' radio station is playing all the songs that were in the charts during my senior year of high school, and I just wanted to instantly become a fossil and be uncovered by alien archeologists 500 years from now.
