This song carries so many memories for me. I was about 11, and my then older brother used to play this in his room all the time - was never allow in there, though:/; I've long lost my brother, but this track always stayed in my mind; did not really know the name, but after a few years of typing in random words over the net and here in youtube, finally I found the track by chance. I'm over the moooooon, your wouldn't believe:) Love this tune since I was a skinny boy; thanks to my big bro.
