Loved it when I was a kid and we was proud of them out here cause they were the first band from Norway to make noise like that.
this video to me is a lil scarey dunno why but
I always thought it was a bit creepy lol
thats understandable, althought romantic, the video deals with alternate planes of reality, intersecting, in this case, the depiction of which was pretty cutting edge when it came out, towards the end it borrows from a pretty good movie, "altered states" which dealt with "devolution" through the use of isolation tanks and hallucinogens wherein a scientist goes back to a prehistoric state only to be rescued by the love of his girl, great flick, great dialogue, great concept and really cool video

Who cares if people think it's cheesy. It's a classic '80s tune and a classic house party jam. I still play it. It was played for all the Nu Wavers and Rebels back in the day. :smokin:

I don't remember really ever liking it enough to tape it off the radio, although I'm sure my sister did. I thought the video was original. It definitely got played at all the parties I was going to back then (mostly school dances.)
Some of the younger DJs were playing it during the 80's revival a few years ago, kids were loving it.

It was played to the point of annoyance, video and radio, battered to the point where if someone played this in any place other that a Kev n Trace club, people would walk away in boredom. In the UK, playing this at a dance club would be like playing an Elvis song at a Public Enemy concert.
Thanks Beauteefullll. Now I can't get this song out of my head.
I loved it too - cheezy or no. Hey, it was the eighties. Cheezy was in then LOL
