Points for the segue. Don't think this is a bustout, but def more of a rarity than a few other songs on this album (...Superman, for instance).

Thank you, AL!

One of those perfect power pop songs that 1979 is just rife with.

ETA: I swear I had not seen Geoff's post above before I wrote this. But I guess my preferences are well known.

I totally share your love of this song.  It makes me joyful when I hear it.  But you, of course, are the Prince of Power Pop!
