If I'm not mistake, "middle of the road" was a radio format back in the 70s.

Great song, but none of their big singles represent them as the truly dynamic pioneers they are. I do love this, though.

^ Yes, that's the video. I've seen it on VH1 Classic before.
Love this song! The Pretenders have a lot of great songs, but this one is definitely my favorite. :)
