Ok, I had an acapella version of this song, but I thought that I should actually find the original. However, I stumbled across a pop-punk version of this song. It was pretty bad. Surprisingly so. So, then I looked for the original tune. I forgot that the tune was smack dab in the late 80s. As the cheesiness of the opening chords came through, I came back to this one.
New Found Glory (remember them?) with King of Wishful Thinking. Color me unimpressed. I still like the acapella version better.
But of course, I can't let you go without the comparison. Here is Go West, with it as well. Enjoy the sweet "Pretty Woman" montage. Wow. Drum machines. Electric Synths. Hector Elizondo!
