This live performance is amazing! Picture this. It's 1981, all with live instruments without any playback or sequencers. Briljant. And it even sounds better than the original. 👌

A real classic ❤

[@thedude8046]

As a toddler back then this song was extremely mysterious to me. I love it!👌👍💯

[@RichiesVinylTimeMachine]

The most interesting way is how the lyrics of the song were made/formed by Midge. He just wrote all kinds of words on a paper (also lines) and then cut them with a scissor and just randomnly started to re align the words and lines. AMAZING! The chorus lyrics he had in his head and liked it.

I have said this many times, anyone born post 1950 have had the best decades in popular music since man picked up instruments....the 60s, 70, 80s and early 90s produced the best bands, variety, and music in History. How lucky we were.
