I heard this last night on a countdown show from August 1984.
Went to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1984.

Great song but the video is hilariously awful.

I'm surprised more people didn't pounce on this one.
But I really enjoyed this when it came out and still do today. I bought the cassette and I'm sure it's around somewhere.

Destroyed his career briefly, and he never crossed over to Top 40 Pop again; the Rockers didn't like all his flouncing around in satin sheets!
BTW, areyoureadytojump, it's "Squier".
For some reason, I remember stumping my college roommate on this one; we'd give each other lyric lines, and he never did get "set it dancing in my ear".

^Typo!
I didn't know this until recently, but Billy said this video ruined his career.
They promised MTV a new video to debut on a set date.
They were delayed. Filmed it quickly. Billy claimed he never saw it before it debuted.
The video debuted and Billy said he never sold out another concert.

The song itself is okay but my favorites from him are "The Stroke" and "The Big Beat". I only know of this song as the music video destroyed his career. Never actually heard it until I heard it on old 1984 episodes of Casey Kasem's "American Top 40".
