This is in my 'Favourite songs in the history of recorded music' top 5. I still don't get their more mainstream records, but up until "Remain In Light" they have been an amazing band. It peaked at #14 in the UK in 1981 and at #91 on the Hot 100 in 1986. Video

Not a bad song. The first time I heard, though, was a few years ago, in a promo for the Showtime show Queer As Folk. Might've been the theme song as well.

The 1986 version was a live recording, btw... the studio version (which I prefer) bubbled under the Hot 100 in 1981 (#103). Has to rank as one of the strangest videos ever.
Also was featured over the credits of the movie Down And Out In Beverly Hills.

I was actually going to start a topic on this song! Dang you! LOL! I never start topics in this forum!
Anyway, I was listening to it yesterday as part of my studying for my rock'n roll final and I really like it too. We watched the music video in class as well.

I find it weird that the songs is quite well known but didn't do much chart-wise.

This is an amazing song.
I liked the 2001 remix by Liquid People.
