Hasn't held up well over time. Didn't love it when it was released...even less so now. Harmless.

Even though I wouldn't miss this song if I never heard it again, it's still a toe-tapper.

Since I am forced to listen to the "Hits of the 60s 70s and 80s" at work, I am really f'ing sick of this song.

Boy am I sick of this song.  It used to be great but hearing it 6.0 X 10^23  times is enough for this lifetime.

Wow! First time hearing this here.
The memories!
I never would have expected to hear it on RP, but certainly think it's worthy!
Yay!

Why would there have been Prog Rock clubs?  Much of the music wasn't danceable, and most of its fans couldn't dance anyhow.

Still love this song, heard it maybe two weeks after it came out and heard it nine million times since (including in all the damn ads), but it still f'in ROCKS if you give it a chance, thanks Bill.

There are good reasons why this is a great song and good reasons why it gets overplayed and...well...there's not much anyone's going to do about it.

Very punk, very Undertones-ish, and very danceable. Shame I'm in an office with a bunch of boring feckers who'd get me sectioned if I started dancing. Ah well, I can always twitch my toes... 8 from the Nottingham jury.

Buicks sell big in China. I'm not making this up.

And they're keeping Buick? It must be the Tiger Woods marketing campaign. Buick is my Grandparents' car. Pontiac at least had sportier and more efficient cars. Buick has boring and fuel hungry land yachts. No wonder GM is in trouble. Poor decision making is not what I like about them.

Pontiac cars I might have considered over the imports:

G6 (hard top convertible was cool)
Solstice
Vibe (really a Toyota)

Gotta believe the minds at GM are "Talking in Their (your) Sleep."

Finally got to see the Romantics a couple of years ago at an outdoor concert. I heard a million cover bands over the years do this song so I made sure and stayed until the end to hear them do this.
Can't deny it, great song.
