So much better to hear this version; great song.
At least it wasn't an ad for a bidet. |

This is REALLY a good popsong! In the '90's I had it on a tape named 'in search of the ultimate popsong'...  |

I could swear this came out in 1990. Edit: Ahh, I see. The single was released in '88. Album didn't roll out until '90. Carry on. |

Aaaaaaahhhhh! So good to hear the original version again. Really one of the best 'pop' songs. Short and sweet.  |

Wish they stuck together. But then again maybe a followup album wouldn't have been as good. Gotta say, one (if not the one) of my favorite albums.

Couldn't have put it better myself if I tried. Yet another example of how the market is pandering to the female component — to the detriment of integrity and male musicians in general. So. How is it living in Bizarro World? |

Quick searches aren't turning it up online, but I really like Scott Miller's/The V-Roys' cover of this. Scott puts a nice growl into the delivery that makes it that much more interesting, like he's really not happy about how into she (or it) he is.
