I think I realized it, when I I first heard this song on the radio, at least I thought the song was a lot cooler than many others at that time. The pop, "built for success" songs seemed to get more airplay, & are usually the most often heard on the "hits of the '80's flashbacks" on radio stations, & most visible on KZread, but it wasn't those were my favorites, it was songs like this one that I remember, & thought were the best.

El otro día vi un vídeo de una señora que tiene Alzheimer, ella era bailarina en su juventud, ahora creo que tiene 80 años más o menos, ella estaba en una silla de ruedas, pero al escuchar la música El lago de los Cisnes se puso a bailar com sus brazos, se acordó que bailó muchas veces esa música…. No soy una persona muy sentimental pero ese vídeo me hizo llorar

I used to laugh at this song as a kid. Now as a 40yo adult I consider it a work of genius. The mood captivates you immediately, like the beginning of "Self Control" (either version). The structure, harmonies, key changes, instrumentation are all innovative and perfectly placed. What this group packs into 3 and 1/2 minutes many, many others attempt to express in full albums or an entire career. The experimentation and freedom of the 80s remains unrivaled in pop music.

This is just one of the hundreds of bands that were coming out in the 80's .....we were literally spoilt for choice, so many genres and so many amazing new sounds.....incredible hair, make up, costumes.....I was at college in Charring Cross Rd London and I remember it was normal to see almost every other person with the most outrageously cool hair and fashion and makeup.....walking works of art........it was the best time to be young.....discovering it all as it was happening in real time.....being part of the history of that magical era.

They then brought in Christopher Hamill (b.k.a. Limahl) and renamed the band Kajagoogoo, a slight alteration of "ga ga, goo goo" from the typical onomatopoeia that most infants make. After Limahl's untimely termination from the band shortly after "Too Shy" earned them their one big U.S. hit, which led him to pursue a solo career, the rest of the band shortened the name to just Kaja.
