"the song was released as the lead single from the album on September 14, 1987, and it reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 on December 5, 1987, becoming Carlisle's first, and only, US chart-topper. A month later, it peaked at number one in the United Kingdom, where it held the top spot of the UK Singles Chart for two weeks. In Australia it peaked at number 2. It is considered to be Carlisle's signature song. "
Yeah this song really is not very 80's or at least not very new wave which is what I think of as 80's. New wave does not get to #1 on the Hot 100 in this country. It's pure pop. I always liked Mad About You more, sounded more like the Go-Go's to me.
I must say she looked cuter when she was not only younger but fatter, in Our Lips Are Sealed. At least in the "singing on stage" shots. The fountain and car shots she just looked fatter.
