[@edwardbliss8931]

In 1985 I was a teenage metalhead, long hair, wearing the leather jacket, Iron Maiden t-shirt and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. But I was also a music fan, so I would be taping whatever songs I felt were catchy from the radio on those shitty clear no-name cassettes. Obsession was one of them. Listened to this, pretty much all year (along with Zeppelin, Maiden, etc) on my family trip to Florida, when I skipped off school, when I got my first real job, etc. Obsession will always transport me back to 1985. That's my story.

[@CDavis-jt5fh]

You just described my teen years, as well as most of my friends. A few of us had denim jackets, but other than that you described 1985 perfectly.

[@allanburton8115]

Back in 1985, they changed the recipie in Coke and they called it "New Coke". The result was so bad that after just 3 months, they went back to the original formula and released it as "Classic Coke".

[@johnkalap9314]

Same, but I had outgrown metal by 1984, got my hair cut and got into Spandau Ballet, Alphaville, Modern Talking, the Cure, INXS, and other New wave/Romantic bands. Still love the classic metal bands, though.

[@darthmauljr]

I was at a club on the 80's night a couple of years ago. Hearing this song on a sound system suddenly reminds you why 80's music is so amazing.

[@christinamarcet1780]

Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!

I was friends with David “Frenchy” O’Brien (Animotion’s drummer) through my mom (who he worked with in the Los Angeles Library system). He always used to give me & my friends tickets to his shows when he was with Red Zone and then Animotion. He would also give me tickets to other clubs when he had extras. I lost touch with him after the death of my mother in 2002. This video came up on my KZbin recommendations so I started watching it and looked up Frenchy online… That’s when I found out he passed away in 2019 at the age of 71. He was a prince of a person. My mom found him to be one of the funniest people she ever met. He was always helpful with advice for me regarding music and the bands I played in. Rest well, Frenchy. Thanks for being a beautiful soul. Say hello to my mom. ✌🏽❤️💔

He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too.

The music fit the over the top fashions and lifestyles (crack & cocaine) of the era. Regan endorsed excessive spending, which is what nuclear parent families did in the middle class and upper economical echelons. One thing was common with all of us who were teenagers or young adults in that era, you had to talk. If you could talk (sell, market, and communicate) you'd always find the place and people to party.

I kept coming up with Don’t You Want Me by Human League. When it finally hit me and I played Obsession the vibe clearly came to an apex as soon as the keyboards began until the last beat was played.
