This was always a big hit when I used to DJ weddings back in the 80s.  |

Very punk, very Undertones-ish, and very danceable. Shame I'm in an office with a bunch of boring feckers who'd get me sectioned if I started dancing. Ah well, I can always twitch my toes... 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Buicks sell big in China. I'm not making this up.

Pontiac cars I might have considered over the imports:
G6 (hard top convertible was cool)
Solstice
Vibe (really a Toyota)
Gotta believe the minds at GM are "Talking in Their (your) Sleep."

Finally got to see the Romantics a couple of years ago at an outdoor concert. I heard a million cover bands over the years do this song so I made sure and stayed until the end to hear them do this.
Can't deny it, great song.

Catchy for sure. But I heard this way too many times at college parties in the eighties. Can't stand it anymore.
