[@brianj9262]

I don't care what anyone says it was the best decade of music. One verse and I'm back in the 80's.

[@kathrynstankiewicz5926]

I had my teenage years in the 80’s. Those were the best times of my Life. THE MUSIC WAS THE BEST.. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Grit489]

I was 24 in 82 and Im instantly brought back when hearing this.

[@tjerwin1]

Martha still has an amazing voice even at what she would be 72 now. Her voice ages very well.

[@robkearns4761]

So much time has passed. So many people in my life are gone. As I sit here alone and cry, one day, I will be gone too. This song brings that home. 😢

[@seansyphers244]

SING IT MARTHA!!! 🤩😃 She’s like 71 now, but DAMN … the fact that she can still belt out those vocals @ that age after all these years is AMAZING! 🥰 ❤️

Definitely. She rules.

No “but’s” !!!!!!! She’s 71 “AND” she can still belt out those vocals. Wiser AND talented. Let’s not minimize aging grace in women any more. Thank you & please. 😘

We saw the Motels open up for David Johansen in 1979 in Boston . Martha jumped up on to our table and kissed me on the cheek! Johansen was the main event and they were great but the place went crazy over a basically unknown band at the time. Great show !

[@kathykb8123]

That's awesome!

Would that happen to be the same David Johansen (AKA Buster Poindexter) who played the ghost cab driver in Scrooged?? 🤩 That guy was a riot! 😁

Being 52 now, I recall growing up with this great song in the 80s. Very fond memories and thank you "Motels." :)

[@thefiftyyearoldfourtwentyg7377]

I got 5yrs on you. The 80's were Incredible. I was Fortunate enough to see almost every 80's Band Live in the 80's My Fondest Memory was Seeing Missing Persons for the 5th time & being invited backstage to meet them. Duran Duran was amazing but Favorite Concert had to be Adam Ant & The Romantics The Romantics opened & Killed It, then Adam Ant came on & took it to another Level. At 57 I realize how fortunate I was to grow up in one of the Most Amazing Musical Eras

[@fundies2]

[@Akaroa_Pilot]

65 and loved this song in 79, she is amazing, love the Motels ❤️💕❤️

[@truelies3690]

Debuted in spring of 1982. Recorded in 1981. But who cares. 1979 even better. Those years was when America was still great, no matter what the issues of the time where. Mr. Peanut AKA Carter and then Reagan years. 42 years ago, damn it went faster than lightning in slow motion. Now 2024! It's all junk and trash now. Where were you in 1982? Great times to be alive. Glad I lived it like 10's of millions of Americans alive then and now.

[@littlegoobie]

just watched vh1 reunion. Now this feels like it should be the week after the performance on that show but 20 years have passed. haha.

[@all.day.day-dreamer]

Beautiful. Im 54 and in the 80's when I was a kid, this song and many others were the sound track to my youth. This was one of the best songs during that period for a lot of people. So happy to hear this song again and I bet all of the members of the band must have felt a great sense of pride to revisit this song and in a way, their past.

[@josearalat]

August 2 1985 San Juan, Puerto Rico, Hiram Bithorn Stadium. I was 14 years old and this was my 2nd concert ever. The Motels, Survivor and Men at Work played that night. I'm 52 now and this bands will never know how much we treasured those memories.

[@ShakenStirred]

Class of 84. . . this music is timeless. . .

[@biorama]

Wow. That voice hasn't changed.

[@seansyphers244]

I know, amazing ain’t it?? Sadly however, legendary singers like Linda Ronstadt unfortunately lost their beautiful vocals due to health issues, and/or “mother time” simply taking its toll on their youth! 🥺😔

Go Martha still got that amazing voice and still look great age gracefully been a fan of her for a long time love her!!❤️❤️
