The song was written by band member Zack Smith.[1] It appeared on Scandal's 1982 Scandal EP. The song was also released as a single, and reached #65 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2]
The video shows Patty Smyth in a bright red dress singing the lyrics to various members of the band as they perform the song. Scandal keyboardist Benjy King is shown playing a rare Digital Keyboards Synergy synthesizer, which provided the main 8th note foundation of the track; the video also features Late Show with David Letterman's bandleader and sidekick Paul Shaffer playing a solo -- based on Del Shannon's "Runaway" on an Oberheim OB-Xa.[3]
Can't. Stop. Playing. This.
ReplyDeleteShe dances like she's trying to keep her balance on a sheet of ice, but she's cute.
I thought she was really cute back in 1982. I was 16 back then. I remembered seeing a "where are they now" thingie from VH-1 and she has several kids and drives a minivan. Still hot looking though.
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that was 21 years ago... And I hope you're retaining at least 'most' of the info... But don't worry, they'll have it all on the computer! :-)
