    Lyrics as pertinent today as they were 30+ years ago. The bassline and brass on this man, next to the house piano - fantastic track. Hugely underrated.

    Damn. What a collection of influences on display here. Eurobeat, Acid Jazz, Madchester, Classic Funk & Soul . I think I find it more interesting than enjoyable but I'm really glad I came across it.

      "More interesting than enjoyable" is such a good way of putting how I feel about this song, too.

    Just a fabulous tune. Remember buying the Choice Singles Collection in 1989 as a 16yr old. Played it to death. Class band👌

    Blame It on the Boogie - big fun

    Brilliant song in 89. We were on a conference in La Manga September that year. A night club called "Wanaties" i think? DJ played this twice, everyone would be on the dance floor, I remember buying the greatest hits in August the same year. St Albans Our Price. Where did 32 years go????
