Jesus, it's been 41 years since I first watched them on MTV. It's crazy how 41 years just flashed by. Man, the 80's, what a time to be alive. No matter how much our society has gone down the drain, I'll always have my memories of the 80's. If I had only one wish, I'd wish that my life could be put on repeat from 1978 - 1989 and live there forever. Those were the magic years for me. I lived them, I loved them, I miss them.

I love This band since 1983 the Roland synth my favorite.

A classic rock and roll song 🎸

A sound and guitar sound for eternity. Not much can compete with that!!! I would describe myself as a rock & pop veteran of the 70's and 80's. Here's a tip: Golden Earring "Kill Me (Ce Soir)" - also very underrated.

Brings back childhood memories for sure!

Incredible creation!!! this song is perfect!! a great charge of energy! I love it and love them!!!

From the looks of the lead singer I'd say they should rename the song to "I walked (a very short distance)" because I don't think he could run anywhere no matter how hard he tried.

Saw them when they opened for the Go-Go’s 1982 at the Coliseum in Bloomington MN. Crazy good opening act

The band has gone through several formations since 1982, there were reunions with the original line-up, but it never went forward because of fights, which was the same thing that kept them apart, nowadays they are only the vocalist of the original line-up, but the band it is more united today than it was then.

Nobody in the comments seems to have noticed that the guitarist is from another legendary (in Canada) 80's new wave band as well. That's Gordon Deppe, lead singer of the band The Spoons (Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic etc..) They never broke outside of Canada, but were huge in Canada, as big as Flock of Seagulls themselves were. It's always strange to see these mash-ups of 80's bands doing the Casino tours always with a couple of original members mixed together.
