This song, and "On The Loose" were all over the radio in late 1982 and into early 1983, but I haven't heard them in decades now.

Wore this cassette out driving around Vermont for work in '82. Good times, great band.

One of a handful of non-metal, non-hardrock bands I liked a lot back then. Can't say I've heard them mentioned much from about the late '80s to now. For some reason I was thinking about them the last couple days and YT didn't disappoint.

SUCH a great song!

Great tune. Nailed it. This is gambling addiction, and the craziness it is.

I'll never forget where I was when this song came on Q107 in Toronto and I heard it for the first time about 15 years ago. It was so captivating that I think I pulled off the road to listen to the whole track undisturbed. Saga had never really been on my radar as The Flyer/On the Loose were the only songs that got much airplay here and neither caught my attention. It was only after hearing Wind Him Up did I really take the deep dive and truly begin to appreciate their entire discography.

I love the Camaro!!! 😊😊😊 Great tune!!!

I heard this song long time ago the band of saga is one of my favorite band ❤❤❤

One of the best songs of the era!

Saw em yesterday at Dexheim / Germany the second time live and they´re still awesome 🙂I´m 57 years old and I can number only a few bands having that place in my heart

Saga's best song.

Was ein Song.daß ist noch Musik

Wow!!! Finally saga found! After 40 years! Still love it, thank you for posting this masterpiece!

Oh this brings back memories 😊

....this may be his last day. Fkin mint work Buddy. Im 54 and I bet i haven't heard this since the tape come out. Thanks for the effort, put a smile on my face.

Grow up with SAGA great song 🎵

Great job, love the song and vid!

Great song and video. They even got Tuddy from Goodfellas to run the joint.

I heard this song a lot but never saw the video but now I understand the song's lyrics. It's about a compulsive gambler.

I never knew there was a video to this song.

Aldo's standing at his table And he's wondering if he's able To pick the number right this time He watches as the wheel stops spinning Sees the number that is winning As he reaches for his glass of wine Once he starts it's hard to stop He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock Be sure you don't step in his way He'll keep those numbers rolling This may be his last day As all the bets are taken Aldo lights a smoke, he's shaking From carnation right to the ground He knows tonight holds one last chance And give the wheel a final glance Slippery fingers drop the money down Once he starts it's hard to stop He's keeping up a pace like a tight wound clock And as he leaves the table, "No luck today" You can rest assured He's coming back to try again Wind him up, he can't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock He's winding his second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock He's winding his second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He's wound up tight just like the clock That's winding its second hand down Wind him up, he can't stop He keeps on going 'round the clock He's winding his second hand down

Awesome!

It was all over MTV when it came out. It probably wasn't on Much Music that often because Much didn't come out until '84 or so and the video was already a few years old by then.
