Love this track & all the positivity on the comments section. This track takes me straight back to high school circa 1987. The track is alongside bros, hugh & cry, wet wet wet, and so on. I hope all folks from this era are still out there, solving their problems, but, most of all, having fun. We thought those days would never end. Sadly, they inevitably did. Anyway, stay positive, strong and focused. Much love, from a 48-year-old in West central Scotland.

@@bioshock6935 The 80s was incredible for music. There has always been great and not so great songs. This never changes and I have been a musician since my first guitar and then piano. Stock Aitken And Waterman (SAW) wrote shit loads of great songs. Even '''I Should Be So Lucky'' was a very well written song. Even if you don't like it it doesn't change the facts 'cause many people loved it. The 80s brought about the use of synths with 100s of sounds stored in their presets. This gave so much colour to songs the The Beatles certainly didn't enjoy and these synths soundscapes were easy to access at the push of a button.

The vibe of 80´ies and 90´ies music was like a fresh wind. I had been in the "magic" age at that time. I mean - the teen period then the yearly 20´ies in personal grow up is a kind of a "magic" time period. Discovery of the world, reality, finding friends, like and dislikes in own life, search for a partner, finding own purpose, job, shaping own reality is a thrilling time, has its own energy level and hunger for more. Growing up in 80´ies and have the fresh music energy from then was a great background. Back in 1920´ies when Jazz took the world that phenomenon back then energized people to a new kind of to be together and ejoy time together. It was a fresh wind from Jazz back then when the good time together got a new shape. 50´ies and 60´ies music got a new "BANG" with electric instruments added. 70´ies, "BANG" experimenting with electronic instruments. Big movement in societies. Then the 80´ies and 90´ies, my "magic" age. Then 2000 end now, explosion of the amount of music creators and a time where music genres get mixed and create interesting hybrids. The quality in sound recording got so much better in the last 20 years or so, too. The vibe from 80´ies was so friendly and like a never ending party time for me. Stumbling forward with excitement, affection and discovery.

I hated this song so much when I was a teen and it came out, as we thought it to be too corny with them back vocal guys, ‘cos “we was so gangstas”. 30 years later I can see the details and the meaning behind lyrics and I just gotta love the way she moves,sings,smiles,expresses thoughts and like them background singers as well. Classic song even in 2021
