I had to come watch this because this song was playing on the radio at the local convenience store when I stopped by this evening. This was my favorite song in late 1983, though I can't really explain why. I was a 17-year-old metalhead, into Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. There's just something about this song. It has such a great groove to it. That dead-simple (but grooving) drum part, combined with a captivating bass line (although, interestingly, The Fixx didn't actually have a bass player at the time, so the part was performed by some studio cat). I liked this song enough that I bought the album (Reach the Beach), and ... I still love that album. It really was a good album.

[@rikspanks4074]

+Rik Spanks Geez, now I need to buy the album from the iTunes Store. I owned the album on vinyl, but it was stolen (along with the rest of my vinyl) when my storage unit got jacked a couple years ago, but in any case I hadn't listened to it in years because I hadn't owned a turntable in years.

[@rikspanks4074]

+Rik Spanks Okay, I have to correct my statement about this bass line being performed by a studio musician. I remember reading the credits on the album liner and seeing more than one bassist listed, so I must have assumed "studio musicians". It turns out that the bassist who played on this song, (and on "Saved by Zero"), Alfie Agius, quit the band during the recording of the album, and was replaced by Dan K. Brown. My bad.

When this song was a hit, I had a friend who owned a car stereo store. He invited me to sit in his 77 Monte Carlo, popped in the cassette, and played this song. It was the first car stereo I'd ever heard with a subwoofer. In 30 seconds I was about to throw up from the sound pressure. I've tried to recapture that feeling ever since.

[@ryanwelch4284]

Synths were recentely invented in the late 70s and weren't integrated into music until the early 80s, so you get this whole new clash of synthetic and organic sounds coalescing together, really, for the first time in mainstream. There's modular synths, but moogs changed the dynamic immediately. You also had punk getting publicity, Michael Jackson. It was truly a time for freedom of speech and expression.

[@matthewmolkentin6230]

The Fixx is one of the most underrated bands in music history... They were a rock/new wave hybrid that kept releasing awesome music throughout the 80's and into part of the 90's.

There was no better time than the 80’s.. the freedom, peace, innocence.. one was allowed to be a kid. Kickball , shoveling or going down a hill on a sleigh in winter.. hearing lightening bugs.. staring at the skies.. lying on your back making snow angels.. or in the fall the smell of cut grass.. it was so simple, pure and fun. Hope was eternal.. the music, your neighbors.. everyone got along it seemed.. wow what a difference a few decades makes.. sorry but 2024??? Thankful to have had the music of the 80’s.. even the 70’s and some of the 6o’s..

+paradisecityX0 Doesn't compare to MTV when it actually showed music...DIVERSE styles of music. The 80s were a party, the 90s were about songs wallowing in depression. If you want to talk about childrens entertainment...Transformers beat the shit out of Power Rangers. Star Blazers destroyed all. Golden age of playstation?...you're ignoring the golden age of coin op arcades and the original home video game consoles. You had to live in that time to understand. 80s were the last decade of 'hometown cops' before we turned into a police state. We could basically do what we wanted as long as we weren't harming anyone. 90s blew chunks...and each decade has been declining since.

Did not think there could be a video of this song. I liked this song very much immediately when I heard it on the radio at work in 1983 or ‘84. I asked a coworker who the performers were. They told me the next day. Looking back, the wait for info increased the appeal (vs habitual immediate jump to internet, like that is the whole point to life). Played much air bass to it. Great years for music back then!

The acoustics at the Edge were very great and I especially enjoyed hearing "Saved by Zero" and "The Fool" to name a few.
