    Takes me right back to Christmas 83, i was 17 and absolutely loved this song. For me it's their best by a mile, but all their songs were great, so many to choose from, i hope you do a few more of them. The Thompson twins were the most underated band of the 80s, i think.

    My favourite Thompson Twins song just ahead of Doctor, Doctor. Although they were the Thompson Twins, there were no twins in the group. Lead singer Tom Bailey was from England. Female vocals were provided by New Zealander Alannah Currie. This is the typical 80's sound and a great song. Glad you guys liked the song. Awesome reaction Asia and BJ ❤️

    I just LOVE the way that BJ reacts to music videos! He is probably one of the most (if not the most) authentic reactors out there!
    Asia (& many other reactors) try to be positive about all songs - so as not to hurt some of our feelings (& I appreciate the nice thought on that ).
    BJ doesn't care whether he upsets anybody (😄) he is giving his honest reaction - & the best, most authentic part are the visuals. BJ starts just sitting & reading the lyrics. Next if the sound is starting to sink in, he starts to move his shoulders a little - just a little. Then, there will be the nose crunching up &/or the 1/2 smile - from 1/2 of his face. Next the head starts getting into it, nodding up & down or swaying side to side (or both) - the more exaggerated the movement, the more that he liked it. We get a really good, honest reaction from BJ before he even opens his mouth!
    Asia doesn't want to hurt anybody so she smiles & moves a little bit for all songs it seems. There are times though where it is obviously more authentic- such as in this one.
    Thank-you both.

    Not sure how they got the name Thompson Twins. None of them looked the same. One was a girl with colorful and blonde mohawk. The other was a black dude with long braids. The other dude was white with had red spiky hair. They all dressed crazy and colorful, typical of new wave punk groups. Lol. Anyways, they were very good group and kind of funky too. Lot of new wave, post-punk has good bass guitars.
    They were around the '80s til early '90s. Had some good songs and videos. "Doctor! Doctor!", ""Love On Your Side", "Lay Your Hands on Me", "King for a Day", "Come Inside", etc

    I love that part at the end where they go higher pitched. My favorite part.

    The first time I heard this dong was even it first came out. That was the eighties, while I was in high school. It's their best song.
