I still love this timeless belter of a song nearly 40 years later, it's one of those happy and uplifting songs from one of the most iconic 80's films that has stood the test of time. Any replication of this song always puts a smile on your face and takes your right back to a happier, easier time. I drum this song in our local retro band with great pride. Rip Greedy Smith, you were a true entertainer and gent.

I don't care how old the song is. It's timeless. Hearing this really woke up some forgotten memories for me. It was actually very emotional. Oh and the lead singer is still bang on in this performance. Sadly he has passed on now but at least he has left us with this song. RIP My Friend.

It strikes me how close this sounds to the original. The studio original is always better, but there's not much in it here: proving they were a pretty good band. As well as this being one of the best songs of the eighties, of course.
