This 80s Hit is So GREAT…I’ve Listened To It 2000+ Times & Never Tire of IT! | Professor Of Rock

What is your favorite song of all time. It’s a question that gets asked a lot… Well in one of my all time pinch me moments I got to interview the cowriter and co singer of my favorite song ever Mike Lindup of the 80s classic band Level 42 on the story of the 1986 hit Something About You, a glorious synth pop new wave jazz classic and even plays parts of the songs to show how he came up with the song and how he wrote with Mark King, Wally Badarou, Rowland Gould and Phil Gold from the album World Machine.

How many times have we asked someone or been asked what is your favorite song of all time. For me it’s complicated. Because I have like Three lists for this particular question. There is what I consider to be the greatest song of all time then there is what is my mantra song of all time and then there is what is my jam… Let me explain each one. What I consider to be the greatest of all time It’s like movies I consider the Godfather 1 and 2 to be there greatest films of all time. Flawless, symbolic deep and monumental, but it’s not my favorite movie ever. Meaning I can only watch it once every 3-4 years. That’s how some music is to me. I consider Pet Sounds to be the greatest album ever.
But I can’t listen to it everyday. or every even every month. It’s saved for special occasions. Then there is the list of songs that are my mantra or life songs. That define me. like Born to Run or the Queen is dead.. but I again, I can’t listen to them every day. they define me in so many ways but I have to be in a certain mood. Then there is the list that I call my jams. Music that is so catchy and uplifting that I can listen to them whenever and I can listen to them thousands of times and they never get old. It’s like the Movie Gross Pointe Blank or Back to The Future. I’m always in. Well for that particular list my favorite song of all time. is this:
It’s such a catchy, joyful, hair standing straight on end 80s feel good jam, I listen to it all the time. I love the chorus, that high falsetto part: Well I had the opportunity to talk to the man behind that vocal and who co wrote the song. and he had his keyboard there and walked through the song and everything. I was blown away. singer/ keyboardist Mike Lindup from multiplatinum 80s jazz funk sensations Level 42. One of my favorite bands of the era. He goes in depth on the classic top ten smash from 1986 Something About You. e So let’s get into it. As we start, I want to thank out sponsor Zenni eyewear,the only frames you’ll ever need.
