By Loverboy. We covered it in the '82 to '85 timeframe. It actually was recorded before Working For The Weekend, but was resurrected after that song was a hit because of the attention they got on MTV.
Nice interplay between the guitar & synth. I remember enjoying playing this one.

That's hysterical that is was 23 years ago and I consider it somewhat new!

I think what I meant is that it wasn't necessarily a song from my youth as I was 44 when it came out...

Hell, 11 months and 5 days from now it will be 10 years since Trump took the escalator ride down in Dump Tower and announced his campaign for POTUS (16 Jun 2015).

The last 9 years (Brexit referendum going LEAVE, and Trump starting his campaign and then winning) have seemed like 20. I feel like I have a 3rd of my life partially ripped away, and it could potentially get even worse for the planet (and that is not even fully bringing in global climate change to a weighing of the scales).
