Agree with you on Gram/Mott. Marshall Crenshaw belongs on a geek channel with the Proclaimers, though.

This song kills me, but I like the Weird Al version better.

Now, if this was "Pop Goes The World" it'd get at least a 5, but...


I'll be nice... a 3. Please don't play this anymore

Yeah it's a fun pop song from the 80s, but it's nothing godlike for sure. I give it a 5.

It was all a bit tongue in cheek and, if you ever watched the video, this would be more apparent. I do not think they wanted to be taken seriously but just wanted a bit of fun and, by the look of it, that is what they got.

Bill seems to agree with his comments i.e. a soft spot for this song after watching the video on MTV.

More irreverence please Bill

I appreciate that this a a mindless dance song so it's not quite a 1. Not sure it really fits RP though. Rating, 2.

Really? No. C'mon. Somebody is 'acting like an imbicile' that's for sure.

Their "Pop Goes the World" album is a classic bit a pop and is worth a purchase. I would not judge any musical artist by their status as a "one-hit wonder" as so much good music never gets to the radio. Just look a the RP playlist for example.

One hit wonder.

I don't think that I ever saw the MTV video (I didn't even own a TV at the time), but it was one of those great tunes to play really, really loud. Still is.
