Hugs and Kudos to all those supporting the people that perform....sound engineers, mixers, videographers, catering providers, janitors/cleaners, and so many more!

[@birdmusic]

@@keitha.neubert3063 Hey Keith, thank you so much for your comment, to be honest, we did it all ourselves. I told everybody to record themselves with their Mobile Phones while recording/ or performing, then send it to me. We had VERY basic knowledge of how to put a Video together, it was more learning by doing :-). Also the Mix and Mastering was done by the Keyboardplayer who happens to own a small Studio. And I am pretty sure he even cleans his Toilet by himself ... sometimes :-) :-) . Pls stay tuned, Amy and I will come up with great news very soon :-) xx

[@stevepeterson5943]

Fall of '87, I'm 18, driving alone from the Midwest to California! This was on the radio the whole way. No cell phone or Internet for another ten years! Sorry ya missed it young people!! Outstanding cover : )

'Nuff said' 😎

[@goosefarm99]

bro I'm 18 in the fall of 87 also, great time to be alive, the song was a big hit back then especially out here in Cali

[@harrymattah418]

Yep, was also18 in '87, this song was a great hit in France. Brings back tons of memories. Friends, girls, and that sophisticated UK pop.

[@goosefarm99]

@@harrymattah418 I've never heard it referred to as that before, but that's perfect, sophisticated UK pop, nice one

[@DenverTW]

I was in Madrid when this came out. (Hope that didn't sound too pretentious) 5 of us went there in the middle of summer of 87. It was hot, it sticky, and I needed some alone time. Everyone else went out and I stayed in the hotel. I found a radio (AM I'm sure) that played a lot of English music. I don't know what I was doing but when I heard the drum beat intro something caught my ear. I flipped when I heard the rest. Couldn't wait to get home so I could get the CD. The whole album is a gem. And here we are, almost spring of 2023....and no, I don't have the brain cells to calculate how many years that is. SOS ROCKS

[@nowgaku]

Your smiling face with this legendary song says it all.

[@renhoek]

That drummer is soooo smooth. The beats just seam to flow from him with no effort at all. Just magic…

So true, Arvin. I'll add that the way that Amy is bouncing to the music/beat, I'll take a chance and comment she (Amy) is a much better dancer than Corinne Drewery.

[@phineashenshaw]

This is THE best live-ish version of this song I have ever heard. SOS should do a cover of your cover!!! To be fair SOS did this song at the height of sequencers. SOS did a good job with it. But live instruments just add a lot to it.

[@michaelkates3183]

What!:) With all respect bro man. No one, and I mean No one does it better then SOS! I heard them live in Chicago and they killed it!!

[@phineashenshaw]

@@michaelkates3183 My comment was song specific. Not saying that SOS sucks....LOL I have seen SOS live and seen them (and others) do many renditions of this song. This one sounds the best to me so far. At least true to the original anyway. Just my opinion. Not meant as an insult...AT ALL........LOL

[@birdmusic]

@@michaelkates3183 All good mate, we cover SOS songs cause we admire them, not because we want to sound better then them. We also chose to cover their tunes cause it allows us to use real strings and real horns ... So, hail to SOS :-) !

Wow! Loads of people like this cover where 18 when this song was released 1987! Well I was 27 and was really into this kinda sophistypop, Neosoul stuff. Perfect harmonies, arrangements and Corinne, this iconic bobtail cut! Notwithstanding of all the Hiphop and Metall shxt was going on outside this harmonic bubble. Cver is excellent. Being a German myself, I would have never expected that all the members are Germans too, untill I read the credits. The groove, the feel, English language...everything is perfect! BTW: There is a remix of this song by Swingout Sisters themselves 2021. Not as vivid as the original mix, nor would it even be comparable to the cover!
