In communist Poland in the 1980s it was a hit on the state radio. Nobody understood the lyrics, but everyone liked the music very much.

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".
