Whoa! Did they even play the intro? It feels like someone forgot to flip a switch.

Godley & Creme with a TOTHS (Top of the Hour Simmerer; not exactly a Cooker).

I should probably hate "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" more than I do. Or don't, rather.

as I recall, you're not all that fond of the Godley & Creme either.  Scritti Politti actually sounds good in this context.

It was so not big I didn't even think about the political ramifications. But, then again- all I want to do is dance.

It is a terrible song- but I don't hate it as much as I hate other Henley songs.

Well, the G&C is kind of insubstantial: deprived of the amazingly-cool-for-its-time video, it strikes me as kind of an irrelevant and ignorable listen.

But yeah, the Scritti Politti is fun, and no longer a Katrina.

Another great video that makes the song seem lesser on the radio: Petty, "Don't come Around Here No More."
