    This song *is* 1979. It's a song by a one-hit wonder band out of London UK with a weird name whom nobody knew, and a huge hit song that defied categorization: It's a little bit Guitar Rock, a little bit Disco, and a little bit New Wave with a slight Punk tinge to it. This is an unusual song with an unusual structure, and it builds itself up slowly, and it completely works. This is basically a perfect song, and it encapsulates its time period so well.

As far as I'm concerned, Jonathan is one of the greatest guitarists out there. We lived together for 6 years when we were in Nashville, Tennessee, so I'm a little bit biased, but I already thought that before we knew each other.
