And the video was released many times on public TV by Krzysztof Szewczyk (in the 80s), the program was called Videoteka or Jarmark (I don't remember exactly). I was more a bit than 10 years old and I loved it! :). Probably I also did not understand the sense but the song was great! ... from these years and this program I also remember Shakin Stevens, Limahl, Duran Duran, Wham, GM, Elton John....hehe.... eh those beutiful young times!....;)

the visual language got really rudimentary around the new millennia. You can think "all the videos from before the late 90s were super weird" or "the videos from then on got super boring".

Sure, Miami Vice was over the top, no one I knew really lived like that, but we sure tried. I can hear MV music today and I feel the warm south Florida air, smell the ocean...it is as if I am transorted back there, all those years ago. It makes me feel good.
