This was a strange song from the mid 80s that I kind of liked. There was a line in it that sounded like it was reused from "Amost Paradise" that goes "not so far away."

It peaked at #25 in October 1987. I like it. I have it on cassette recorded from a 45.

I love this song! I was disappointed when it stalled in the 20s.
I still remember seeing them perform it on Solid Gold.

If they had waited some fifteen years to release this song, it might have done good (at the beginning, they say the word "holla" several times.)

It's on Vol 2 of the Lost Hits of 1986-1987, that I created in 2000. Great song! I think I saw them perform it on the Coca Cola Euro-Chart Top 50 countdown show on Europe's Sky Channel.

Definetly a good vacation or road song, if you're into having good times with friends. I love it.

It's featured on Crap From The Past October 8, 2004. Fast forward to Part 2 at the 5:37 mark. |

I like it. Too bad it doesn't get more airplay these days.

I just heard this song on Rick Dees' 1987 countdown for this weekend. Great one!

Just played on AT40 for 10/31/87.
The male vocal is annoying. Very catchy...
