Absolutely one of the greatest songs of the 80's. It was played everywhere, on the radio, MTV, and even the skating rink. That sax solo just tops things off. They wrote it but couldn't get anyone to do it, so they did themselves. Just wish they did a lot more because this proves they both have "it" to break out from just song writing.

This song "is the 80's". Timeless.

Loved growing up through the 80s. Some of the best music

This song is a masterpiece!!! I've loved it since it came out and love it even more now.

Great song from the Eighties! Glad you guys both liked it! Just when you thought it couldn't get better, then that SAX hit!!!

One of the best of the 80's I never get tired of this one!!

One of the top 80's songs

This is why great music will never die. I know its takes time to get to everyones request but when you do great music survives.

George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam, the duo here, written this song in mind for Whitney Houston. I had read somewhere she felt they should sing it. They had previously written How Will I Know and I Wanna Dance With Somebody for her.

Thank you. I grew up in the 80's but didn't know they wrote that for Whitney

I had to relook where I had found the info. They did write this song for Whitney in mind, but Clive Davis rejected it. Makes sense now, they are more suited for this song than Whitney. Would have liked to see how Whitney would have done with this though.

I have to say that this might just be the most perfectly crafted pop song ever created. One of my all time favorites. Soooo uplifting and happy. Just pure joy. It has it all. Infectious melody, snappy beat that makes it impossible to sit still, and a happy ending message. Love it! ❤️

I'll never get tired of this song, so uplifting and full of energy! The nostalgia of hearing it in its heyday just adds to the love I have for it. Really glad you gave it a listen!

Late '80s - early '90s sax players got all the best charts and delivered big time.

I never ever get tired of hearing this!! Makes me so happy; a true "feel good song!!" ❤

George & Shannon from Boy Meets Girl wrote 2 of Whitney Houston's biggest songs in How Will I Know & I Wanna Dance With Somebody! 😎🔥🤘🎸

These two wrote some of Whitney's greatest hits but when they pitched this song to her she didn't think this was right for her but it worked out so much better for Boy Meets Girl! Best song of the 80's!

One of the catchiest songs I've ever heard, and it actually had a bridge!

Love this song, the music, the voices, the lyrics, the emotions, the energy!

I love this song 1988 I was on it y’all singing it 🔥

They were married at the time and the kid in the video was theirs.....sadly they divorced in like 2000'ish....still work together and friends to this day !! GREAT TUNE!!!! FYI.....they wrote 2 number 1 songs for Whitney Houston as well !!

This takes me back!!!! To Elementary school, about 3 rd grade. Sound asleep in my bedroom. Then I slowly start to wake up to the sound….. my moms alarm clock. This is the song I woke up to every. Single. Morning. Or…. The song just call me angel. If you have not heard of that one… It’s a oldie but a goodie❤

Beautiful song.

EPIC SONG!! I LOVE IT!!

Such a great song!

Conceived at a Whitney Houston outdoor show. George was groovin during her erformance and a meteor arced across the night sky over the venue. That's how he put the elements together for this ridiculously romantic pop song. A true 80s genius.

I’ve always loved this song so glad u guys finally checked it out!!

I loved this song from the 1st minute I heard it...the lyrics are awesome, it's playful, great melody, awesome video! Didn't realize they wrote 2 songs that Whitney Houston sang, good to know! 😊

80s gold!

I love how much joy this song brought to you both. You just made my night.

Memories 🍀🥰

This was another flagship song that defined the 80's music scene

So many of the best 80s songs had a saxophone solo it 😆

Great song, subbed because my man there looks as blazed as me rn 😂

Yes! Loved this song ever since I first heard it in the movie “Three Men and a Little Lady”.🥰

I want to go back to the 80s and watch Saturday morning cartoons and eat a box of sugary cereal. So carefree

Love this song. The woman reminds me of my auntie when she was Much younger .

Banger! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Always loved this song. It’s from 1988

masterpiece of a Song.💯

Happy belated birthday. I hope you many more to come.

You guys are really hitting the great old songs. ❤

S & M always bring the love!

Would love to hear her sing along. She has a natural ability to make her own parts….on pitch and in harmony. Time to show off girl….!

I love this!!❤ It shows how music can transcend race and time. Good music is just Good Music 😊

love this tune!!!

I totally forgot about this song! You two look so beautiful in those caramel colors! May I request my 80s wedding song? It's Cherish by Kool and the Gang. Thanks you two. Always sweet!

great sax playing in this song too

Beautiful Song! 😎🔥🤘🎸

I was 22 when this came out. I wish I had appreciated it more. This tune always reminds me of those sweet times...

Girl can sing! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Boy can sing! 😎🔥🤘🎸

They wrote two other hits for Whitney and this was originally for her too, but she told em to go for it, and the rest is history! Would have been another hit for Whitney but she had plenty! This song goes full tilt with that 🎷 solo! Miss those! ❤

How many in the group knows that they wrote I wanna dance with somebody for Whitney Houston

80's Baby! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Beautiful Music Video! 😎🔥🤘🎸

I love you two…. God bless you.

The love and positivity from you guys is awesome.

Killer Sax! 😎🔥🤘🎸

Happy Birthday Mel 🎁🎈🎉🎂

Happy Belated Birthday! God bless you both!

I haven't heard this in a long time. Thank y'all for reacting to this❤️❤️

80's bliss!!!

They were not one hit wonders like many say. They quietly pursued a very successful songwriting career together.

You have to see the movie…. Three men and a little lady

Great reaction as usual! Love your smiles and enthusiasm.

They also wrote songs for other artist, one of them being Whitney Houston.

you guys are so cute!

Sorry guys, but I never believe these 'first time reaction' vids. You folks heard it at least once. This goes for all other 'first reaction' vids. We ain't stupid 😊

Your are so. Cute greets from Germany

Please, please, please do a reaction to the song "Timothy", by The Buoys.....I think you'll be VERY surprised!!

Please do I Can Dream About You by Dan Hartman!

Pretty sure they were a couple (Boy Meets Girl). I think they eventually split up. Song was always fire and still is. Show your kids

And then she’s not in his arms anymore. Awesome performance but sad at the same time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z4h3sY-MctKym9I.htmlsi=QpC1gAf1ZWHvFZaE

The 80s wasn't a perfect time. It was still The Cold war, and in the early '80s there was a bad recession and high inflation. Still, it was a great period for music and films
