I could have sworn there was a thread for this but I can't seem to find it. I adore this song, even though apparently it's about a couple melting at the drop of a nuclear bomb.  Surprisingly, this never charted in the UK. In the US, it reached #7 on Mainstream Rock and #78 on the Hot 100; a re-recorded version landed two spots higher on the latter chart in 1990. |

I got tired of it after a while.

A somg that was a flop in the 80s, but is now considered an 80s classic.
I used to have a thread on that subject here, but I can't find it.

This was in the film "Valley Girl" which starred Nicolas Cage.

It's alright but it gets tiring.

I never knew this song didn't do that well on the pop charts considering that it is often played on 80s/classic hits/adult hits. Heard this on 101.9 the Mix during their 80s at 8 hour when I was younger and I'm pretty sure the now-defunct 80s channel (103.1 WXXY) and 94.7 (back when were the Zone and played 80s hits just before flipping to alterative/active rock) played this one as well. I never hated this song but couldn't really enjoy it either due to overplay.

This was one of my faves. Don't listen to it that much anymore.

One of those songs like Every Breath You Take, that no matter how good it is, I have heard way too many times. I think the Burger King ad and also a Taco Bell ad - plus constant play on alternative radio - has worn me on this song.
