I guess Trevor and I are both getting older. The first time I heard this song in 1980 was while I was in my high school drama class. We were rehearsing for a play and had a lot of sitting around time while waiting for our scenes. There was an orchestra pit below the stage where we could kick back and wait until we were needed on stage. My friend Starla had a small radio that we listened to when this song came on, and we were all immediately surprised by its sound. I had no idea who the Buggles or Trevor Horn was until the song became incredibly popular. Then I heard that he and Geoff Downes were joining the band Yes, which didn't make much sense as they seemed like completely different music styles. Once I heard the album Drama, I was blown away. Trevor Horn is a musical genius.

I can only surmise that the 1980’s were the equivalent of the “roaring ‘20’s of the 20 Century. I obviously didn’t live anywhere near the 1920’s, but I was so fortunate to have started University in 1981 and lived through some of the greatest music of all time in my opinion. I know that many ridicule this song, but it is an iconic song that has gone down, and will continue to go down for the rest of history. It was the very first song that opened up and was played on MTV. People can say what they want, but everyone “secretly” wants to get up and just start DANCING when it comes on.
