Fun fact: This husband and wife duo originally wrote this song for Whitney Houston but the record label didn't want her to sing it so they decided to sing it themselves.

I'm so glad they kept it to themselves - and to sing as a duet as a married couple. One of the sweetest love songs of the 80's.

I think they decided to sing it after Belinda Carlisle turned it down. Pretty sure she recorded the demo.

I didn't know that! Thank you for that bit of knowledge. I've always loved this song.

One of the happiest songs ever and yes, this couple did write both “How will I know” and “I wanna dance with somebody” for Whitney Houston

This is a genuine 100% feel good song. The videos a lot of fun too❤

I was a 16 yr old metal head when this came out in 1988, yet had no problem loving this song then and now.

high level writing and production here...they wrote Whitney Houston's biggest hits and you can hear it

Ohhh myyy!!! How I just LOVE this song💯😍💯 "Carry your heart into my arms... that's where you belong"🎵❤️🎵 IN MY ARMS!!!!

Great song....brings back good memories....back when music made us feel good.

Thanks for reacting to this, I love this song. so nostalgic to me Takes me back to my school days, when times seemed simpler and you didn't have a care in world. Life at that time was all about hanging with your friends and either taking about or chasing girls. Ah the good old days.

I absolutely adore this song! It's truly one of my all time favorites. It makes me smile everytime I hear it! Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤. And Asia, you have a beautiful voice!!! ❤❤❤❤

This is such a great and fun song. Big hit back in the late 80s.

This is one of my favorite feel good songs love it thanks for your reaction!

One of the best feel good songs ever!!! Thank you guy so much for finding this

This was a great song and definitely the 80’s, I’m singing along while I’m listening to it

I know what you mean about how it makes you feel.To me, another song that does that is the ballad by Will Young, "Leave Right Now" (live in London 2005).Also "Run" by Leona Lewis. ( Leona Lewis Run live on X Factor )

Hopefully after this, you watched the music video for this, featuring singers George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam & their young daughter. They wrote the song after witnessing a falling star at a Whitney Houston concert.

This song played during the ending credits of “Three Men and a Little Lady.” I recorded the movie on VHS and then put my boombox next to the TV full volume so I record the song to cassette. No joke.

I remember doing things like this. Putting my boom box next to the radio or tv to record certain things. The sound quality was terrible but it's all we had then. 🤣

I don't know anyone who didn't like this song growing up during that time. Such a great song. Touches the soul & can't NOT smile.

The best 80s white people dancing song bar none (music video)!!! Love you guys! Thank you for the nostalgia!

Love this song!

Great stuff ! .. Just such a catchy and feel good song .. They were pretty much one-hit wonders with songs they recorded for themselves, but this huge hit will always be around .. It's a classic !

I rarely hear this one anymore today, but still love it! BJ said it well, great "sentiment" behind the lyrics. Well crafted, with good melody and cadence. You guys would really like the video, too!

I just love you guys!! BJ putting off the chill vibes & Asia just enraptured!! Simply Beautiful!

One of the best 80s songs & it still sounds fresh today. It has such a joyful sound, which is weird given it's about romantic longing. #lol Great harmonies, great musicianship.

Great reaction! Liked the song. I put it in the same category as Dan Hartman’s song “I Can Dream About You.” It is one of “those” songs. The ones that stay in your head for the rest of the day. Thanks.

This came out the year I graduated high school. When I hear this song memories I forgot pop back in my mind. Driving in my 1980s Buick Skylark just listening to music.

What an amazing song . Some people get all the talent.❤

I used to dance to this as a young adult! Music back then was special. Thanks for reviewing it. Took me back.

I've loved this song since I first heard it. Gets in your head and stays there. Another one you might like is: Giant - I'm a Believer. Just make sure you get the full album version, as the video version cuts off the epic guitar solo in the beginning.

This IS a great feel-good song!

This is a cute song. Sounds like a song I heard recently on a show.

Ahhh…this was the theme of our Junior Prom the year this song came out…a googly-eye type of feeling song 🎶

This song has lasted much longer than my second marriage, which started the same year this came out, even though it's truly how I felt about her. 18 years, 3 kids later it was over. Ah, but the song still moves...

One of my favorite songs from my youth!

This song has such a feel-good vibe. Brings back great memories, too :-)

Ok, Asia, I think you need to sing a version of this song. It would be amazing to hear!

Such a good song. Now Boys Meets World was a show, ok? Don't get confused by the band name haha. I really like this song, he has such a great tenor voice.

Such a cool, catchy song!

The video of this song is one of the happiest ever. You guys should definitely watch this.

I loved that song, the summer of '87. Best music ever...

One oft fav 80s songs❤

You both got into it within a minute LOL! Great reaction, one of my all time favorite pop songs!

OMG I LOVE LOVE THIS SONG

This song was a hit when I met my wife in England. Then I had to return stateside and Desert Storm started. We didn't know if we would ever be together again, but after the war, we made it work, got married and today 7/14/2023 is the 33 anniversary of us meeting. Also the song "King of wishful thinking" by Go West after we we separated by the Atlantic ocean.

Great song. Yes, they offered this to Whitney, but it was turned down. They did write 2 hit songs for Whitney, but, Whitney & her management thought it sounded like people would interpret it differently...being Whitney was a "Star"...as "waiting for Whitney`s Star to fall". Which was crazy. It`s just a beautiful song.

this is one of my favorite songs! not an 80s baby but still...

The instant cure for a bad day.

"Waiting For A Star To Fall" is my favorite song.

Asia! What do you think about George Merrill's range? You know the high note toward the climax of the song. He's the one doing the high note.

You don't have even think about in which decade the song came out. :) BTW I love Asia singing "I wanna dance with somebody"

👍👏👏👏👏 this was a hit when I was married in 1988/89 .. ( divorced late 89 so don't get excited lol) ... I ❤ this catchy tune 🎉

Check out the “Cabin crew” version of this song

Yeah guys!!!!

"Getting all googly 😃eyed." 👀‼

7:03 😂 That's cute.

My favorite song ever❤😊😊

This song I recognise from Three Men and a baby. A very funny film. In which batchelors from different walks of life end up having a baby on the doorstep from a woman they cannot recall. So they carry the mantle and all muck in looking after the babe. Steve Guttenburg, Ted Danson and Tom Selleck.

i love you guys so much :D just sayin.........lol Great Song Great Vibe love the 80s

DAMN!! Asia can saaang!

Love those one hit wonders!

Forgot about this one. Nice pick guy's!!!😃🇨🇦
