It should be played at 45rpm not 78 !! A little joke for you there young lady... you have good taste in music 😁

It has a kind of nursery-rhyme quality to it...both the music (with that funky piano riff) and the lyrics. He really sounds like he's inventing the lyrics just before singing them...very funny and irresistible song! 😄

Reminds me of May 1991, I'd been away for two weeks and upon my return found that my Dad had bought 'Sky TV' - prior to that we only had 4 channels on British television, 5 if you could speak Welsh (S4C) - all of a sudden we had the amazing MTV Europe and this song and REM's 'Losing my Religion' were played daily... still love them both now

[@RisforRockit]

Definitely a generational breakthrough - we got MTV Europe about the same time, at home in Northern Germany, and suddenly youth pop culture (at least from the Western part of the world) was no longer hidden behind a barrier. It definitely made me a TV addict!

Incredible! The persistent, postponing, questioning chord in the verse... and then the great relief, a harmonious but melancholic melody and deep and wide stereo basses lift you up in the air.
