Wow, that does dig up some memories.  The summer of '91 I think, I had a motorcycle, few commitments and a mean serve for vollyball in the park.

This just made me think of the band Material Issue for some reason.  Ah, the memories.  I just got their CD International Pop Overthrow.

love this song, always welcome more Furs into the mix. other posters have already pointed out this came on an earlier album, not the compilation pictured.
*looks like the album pic has now been updated*

never a bad time to play this song!

Well, I was going to go out to lunch but I can't leave while this is playing!

Wrong year, RP.  This song first came out in early '87, and it was on this album,



not the compilation you've got featured at the top which came out a year later.

I'd just finished all the inside work on my home remodel. A vast expanse of white vinyl flooring, with no furniture. It was night, there were candles burning, and this song was echoing through the large room. I was dancing in celebration - finally, I had enough space to walk without cracking my elbow against something or having to dodge obstacles (I am a klutz.)  It was one of the most liberating moments of my adult life.  I'll always have good memories of this song.

Yeah, it sounds a bit like album filler or B-side stuff. Lots of cliched phrases and 80s synths. "Into You Like a Train" is another superior track. Still, this isn't bad...

Like Jason Isbell says in "Outfit": "Don't sing with a fake British accent"...

Saw them supporting Iggy Pop in 1979 just after they had released their first single and just before their eponymous LP.  Followed them for quite a while.  This is not one of their better tracks and suffers from far too dated 80s production dragging along a thin tune.

Gimme, Dumb Waiters, Sister Europe, Pretty in Pink (original before the dreadful film of amse name) Imitation Of Christ, President Gas, Forever Now. etc any day over this weak offering

Saw them in 85, they were loud!

One word... "Classic".

Good band Only 2 songs in the RP library, another band that seems like a perfect fit but doesn't go over too well.

Back to the 80's .....by the way Corey Haim just died.

By 'horns' you MUST mean synthesizer?  And could the 80s really have been 'done without' the synthesizer?

Yep. This says high school, loud and clear.

Wore out the grooves on this record "back in the day" ... this, and Graham Parker ... and a New Order EP of Ceremony ... wow, my memory meds must be kickin' in today!

An underrated band, the Furs were. 

Yeah, I've always thought that it was a fine example of why you should always think twice (no make that ten times) before putting horns on any song. Occasionally it works but more often (particularly in the 80s) it will ruin a perfectly decent song.

i have always liked this song but could do without the horns on this one

Always preferred "Love My Way", but this will do for now.

If you like the Furs, check out British Sea Power, they have a very furry vibe happening.

One of the Furs better songs, i think so at least. How about some talk talk?

So hard to recognize the Furs.

One bottle of Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc (nose is equal parts grapefruit and B.O. --- way, way better than it sounds) + the Furs = Nirvana on a cold, grey Friday night in Toronto.

gimme "Talk, Talk, Talk."
