▸ #obsession is a 1983 song by Holly Knight and Michael Des Barres, covered in 1984 by the group #animotion
▸ The song hit number six in the United States, and number five in the United Kingdom in June 1985, helped by a distinctive video that MTV played frequently.
▸ "Obsession" also hit the top 40 on the US dance chart, twice: once in 1984 (the single reached No. 35 the week ending November 24);[4] then in 1986, as a double-sided hit, along with the track "I Engineer".
▸ Cowriter Michael Des Barres was recovering from a heroin addiction in 1983, so "Obsession" was a familiar word to him.
▸ But although drugs were familiar territory to him, he wanted to write about something that would appeal to a much wider audience, like love.
▸ The line, "Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly, I will collect you and capture you" was inspired by The Collector, a movie Des Barres had watched about a man who kidnapped a beautiful woman.
▸ Cowriter Holly Knight would often practice or write riffs on the bass E-string of her guitar, which spawned the bass rhythm of "Obsession".
