    Born & raised in Philly we all were so blessed to have this guy & his band the "Heroes!" Loved this song so much I had it as one of the intro songs of my wedding reception. RIP Robert, thank you for every great song you produced.

    2 versions of the same song - both the most '80s thing I've heard today, both bangers

    Late at night. Pushing 70. Still listening and jamming to Robert and the Heroes. Great music times in Philly. RIP Robert.

    A much under apriciated song.
    Indeed, it's just a millimeter short of perfect.

    Version 1 is better but this is still a jam. Robert Hazard had a certain New Wave Leonard Cohen vibe about him that I love. Who doesn't love a good critique of 80s consumerism with a good beat? Certainly none of you watching this in 2024.

    Refrain sounds like Sisters of Mercy in this version.
    The main melody reminds me of the motion picture soundtrack of Stephen King´s Christine (John Carpenter, 1983)

    Just thought I'd check out his music since the only one I know is Girls Just Want To Have Fun. So far I like it. Love those Keyboards. The 80s had the best music. Wish I could've experienced it with everyone else. I was only there 2 and a half years and I don't remember it.

      Dude, I met Roberts son Rex one snowy night a few years ago and before I knew anything about the dude we were already linked from one question he asked me “You fuck with Sabbath” and it was something I hadn’t felt in years. I’m eternally grateful for that happenstance meeting where this skinny white kid showed me what true rock n roll really is and it’s because of this dude.
