[@JonTalbain777]

I saw this back in the 80s for the first time as a child, and it still fascinates me. After years of videos from Madonna, Michael/Janet Jackson, Britney, Beyonce, various ballet, what have you, I think this is still my favorite 3-4 minutes of dance. It's camp and artsy and minimalist while still being infectious and fun. It is completely unconcerned by vanity or the need for sexiness. It feels youthful and unpracticed yet somehow polished and sophisticated and extremely precise. Timeless.

The agency officially revealed that they used the 1980s hit song Hey Mickey as a reference using the interpolation technique. (Sampling is using part of the original song as is, while interpolation is using only the melody or chord progression.)

One of the songs on the radio when I was happy. Was always on the top 5 in my area lol.

this song is one of the best examples of why New Wave was so much fun to listen to, and the airwaves were chock full of fun songs like this at the time. It was almost too good to be true.

80's grad and I appreciate it. A warm world. Love the style. Nikes, Adidas, and Asics, Tigers. Pumas. Our Lions. We made those shoes. Dance and sing. One helluva dance is still going on.
