Absolutely not a kids song.

Sure, it's fun and light hearted but it stands up.

hardly a "kids" song, but a classic one from the 80's

I suppose the odd kids song here and there doesn't do any harm. Nowhere near as bad as 'I Like Driving In My Car'...(it's not quite a Jaguar).

A great 80s song because it doesn't sound like one of those fist pumping 80s songs.

I love Madness. I saw 'em live and they rocked. But this song? Sorry, it's an end of career little ditty, a sop the the label because they couldn't come up with something better.

Time for Pandora and Dave Brubeck.

Hmm. In 20 years will you be saying that about the Coldplay songs you've highly rated?

That is very sweet. Except that the song that Lillith and Frasier sang was Our House by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Also a very very good song, of course, but ... completely different. 
 


Right you are...not sure what I was thinking there. I must have just caught the tail end of it.

This song will always remind me of being in London one New Year's Eve when I was in high school.  My friend and I were partying wth a Swedish hockey team in the hotel bar and this song was on the radio.  I don't know if it hadn't been released in the States yet or not, but certainly wasn't getting air time in my small home town.  I can never hear this song without thinking of that night.

Says something about the (over) production of the studio recording that this guy thinks it's synths.

But that overproduction is also prolly what allowed this one to break top ten in the US while their less "poppy" sounding singles didn't do so well over here.

 
Chalk it up to 80's production sensibilities.

Wow, I'd love to hear THAT story - hard to imagine this song's innocuous lyrics leading to something like that!  Was your ex- trying to dance to it or something?
