    This song was so unique back in the 80’s, and it is still as unique today in 2023.
    Brilliant.

    Rockabilly revivalists at the same time as New wave, post punk, ska, reggae and Brit soul. It shouldn't have worked, but it did. It truly was a great time for music. I read somewhere that these were a fantastic live band.

    The Stray Cats took rockabilly music to a whole new level in the early 80's. They were different and had their own unique sound staying true to their musical influences without sounding like tribute artists. Stray cats were iconic and raised the bar for other acts to follow.

    Saw the Stray Cats in London, December 1980.
    They were magnificent. If early Elvis and Gene Vincent had be reborn,
    this is how it would sound. Forty years has done nothing to diminish
    this track. Brian Seltzer, what a great guitarist!

    I turned 12 at the end of 1980 and remember seeing Stray Cats on TOTPs.
    They really weren’t my cup of tea but I did, even at that age, think they looked extraordinary.
    No one had tattoos or looked like them in 80. No pop band anyway.
    They’re still not my thing but remain impressed at the image. Superficial I know.

    I was a Rockabilly in East London/Essex in the late 1970s and early 80s, during the Rock 'n' Roll revival, which swept across the United Kingdom. The Stray Cats were huge back then. I was proud to wear my collar up. Look at all the boring plebs in the background. Too much disco music has brain washed them and they have no style or swing. Haha!
