I would never have expected to hear this on RP. And (although I don't hate the song) I hope I never do again.

This track reminds me of two nerdy guys, neighbours of a mate of mine from my high school years, who were A HA freaks...their big thing was to go to their local record shop in Caracas and hide all the band´s records so noone else could buy em...Wrangler and Enio, more or less the beavis and buthead of my Caracas years.

A friend played a few tunes off a record that was release about 5 or 6 years ago, I think, and I thought it was very good. Who knew.  |

I never expected to hear this is on RP - Loving it! It's 8:30 in the morning here in Aus & this is such a good song to get the morning energized :)

I was about to exit out of it, thinking it was that MTV version, but then I realized it was SO much better! Thanks for the laugh, dolfan (and themotion) - I think I have to like this song again...   |

Somewhat forgettable pop saved by the amazing "etch-a-skech" video that accompanied it... ...and though I say "somewhat forgettable" — it will no doubt be swimming in the black recess's of my brain for hours afterward...

That's the way to make some of us feel old—thanks! I not only had an 8-track, I had a transistor radio to listen to The Beatles when they first came out!  |

I can't explain why but this song really moves me. That chorus! I always turn it up. I don't think I've ever heard any of their other songs but this one is enough! :) |
