      Not weird at all. You have a heart, something sadly lacking in a vast majority of humanity in these times.

    I'm from Northern England, and I well remember this song being released round about 1985.
    Well played Aussie's, you've done us Northerners proud.✊️

    For those of us that were in our teens and early 20’s when this was first released, 1985/6 , I defy anyone to find a song that is more evocative of that time. I have immediate goosebumps and tears of happiness! Pure joy 👌🏻
    And what’s so bloody amazing about this video is that you can see that joy in each and Every one of these peoples faces 😊
    This has just made my entire year 👍🏻
    Thank you SO much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Enjoy life we are all in this together. This will be probably my most favorite rendition of all time of this song. Love it! Thank you Pub Choir for posting this.
