such a good memory to hear this song again. thank you .
Dallas gal here born and raised, from parents who met in the club scene in the 80’s, found a vinyl copy on eBay to present to them… they lost their minds to that siren 🚨🚨🚨
Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing that info. :-)
I remember this song at the club. The sirens would come on, and we'd rush the dance floor.
Omg a Dallas classic. Village station...we would run to the dance floor. Wow just awesome!! Takes me back to simpler times. Love love this. Still 🔥 😎
I absolutely loved this song back in the 80’s…and still do 😂🤣🤣
That siren 🚨 🤣👍🏼
I still have this record! It's in a box with all of my other albums! I never got rid of any of my albums, cassettes, 8-tracks, 45's or CD's! 😸
Given the fact that this song was released on a small indie label, it’s a miracle that it even charted at all. Great catchy tune. Peaked at No. 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1987.
Danced many time at Village Station (Dallas) to this incredible version
Wow so did I. What a party it was.
Well fellas, I likely was there at the same time, and indeed what a party it was! does anyone know when it became Village Station from 4001? (...really dates me, huh?...lol..)
Much thanks to Mr. Bass for posting this!
fabulous record
I remember hearing this on some Dallas radio stations back in the mid 80s and just assumed they were playing it all over the country. Had no idea it was just a Dallas thing.
There are always songs that do better in some markets than others. The fact it made the Billboard Hot 100 is impressive. Two other songs that were huge in Dallas include Wham Rap by Wham! and I Will Surrender by 4 Reasons Unknown. The latter was another band from Dallas, TX, and MTV gave their video a lot of airplay.
It was big in fl too. I had such a great time dancing to this
It was at the clubs and radio in Sacramento.
NY too.
The Old Plantation, El Paso, TX. No radio play but this song always got everyone dancing there.♥️
Wow! Yes, I remember performing as Those Three Girls at Village Station in Dallas With my cousin’s ~ I was all of 18 years old and dancing to this song ~ Wow time really flies ~ in my 50’s now ~ still loving this song and the memories 🥰👍🏾💕🌈🌻
Great memories! Love it! Yes, time screams by. Please let me go back and do it over just once..
This got played a lot on the radio here in Southeast Texas.
Wow had this on a12” vinyl!!! Miss this kind of music!! From Teena Marie’s Square Biz to hit dance tracks like this one!!! Can’t be it what so ever!!!!!!
Oak Lawn Records released a few compilation CDs back in the day. This song is included on one of those discs - Oak Lawn Records Energy Club Classics. The collections are very rare these days. I'm not aware of any streaming services that have rights to air Oak Lawn Records artists. It's really a shame. Great club memories!
I play it from time to time on my Live365 station. Live365 handles royalty payments for ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and a few others.
I had this album in early 80’s ... unreleased club version.. I wish I still had it
Wow! We danced (a lot) to this song in the 80s.. ! Texas!
THANKS ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS ABOUT MY PRODUCTION/KEYBOARD WORK FROM OVER 30 YRS AGO !!!
This version is way, way, WAY better than Rod Stewart's, IMHO. Great job!
Scott Yahney I still have the 12-inch single purchased in Stuart, FL to take back to NY after hearing it a LOT on Y-100 and WOVV over a Christmas break. Totally 80s awesomeness
I can't believe this song only reached #80 on Billboard's Hot 100. I was music director for a Top 40 radio station in Mobile, Alabama called WABB-FM and this was a Top 10 hit for us!
@@leechesnut8523 Some songs did better regionally than nationally, so I can believe it. This song, as well as Wham Rap by Wham were huge hits in Dallas...
Genius Scott
OMG memories.. We use to dance so long nd hard to this was HUGE in the gay bars back in the day. Dominque Nicole in OKC use to dance the 8 min version of this in a show,,,OMG what fun!!!
Freaking amazing song
One of my all-time favorite songs! I remember this song from GDI on the river in Memphis Tennessee.
Man that is the jam! I loved working out to this tune in the gym back in the late 80’s.
~ Love 7" singles!! We always beat-mixed the 7" version by Rare Earth into the jet-craft taking off break on the Uptown 12" in 1987 in NEW ORLEANS' French Quarter. This song was, and is, and will forever be, a dance floor staple! Cheers, DAVEDJ~

Was this at Lucky Pierre’s?
I so love this version, thanks for the upload!
Great song and thank you for posting this!

Damn why isn’t this streaming 😤
Works fine for me. Did you accidently click the mute button?
Oh no I can hear this fine! ❤️ it! I meant I wish this tune was available to stream on Apple Music or one of the streaming services but it’s not sadly 😓
@@iwant2pantsyou considerin it's out of print, I'm not surprised.
I remember this version!! Time to tweet SiriusXm 80s on 8 and see why they have never played this. Great throwback.
AFAIK this song never made it to CD.
This is a shame, because it's a great song from that era. @@LegendaryRadioJock
Can’t find it anywhere
The best beat of all time. This song rocks! And I STILL have the record as well. Are they still performing?
I doubt it...they originally recorded it in 1983.
I still have mine, too!
thanks
I remember Dion Martell tearing up the dance floor with this song.
Dallas Confetti's Favorite! Wild Bill Stanley at the box....
I have the 12". Fav dance song of the 80s. Why can't you play it on Spotify??
Glad I came across this!!
Did you happen to be on KEOM a long while back.? I sure know the name **Robert Bass** ;-)
Yup...would still be there too if it wasn't for incompetent management after Dr. Griffin retired.
Aaaawwwww Yeeeeeaaaahh.
I love this song and cannot find it on ITunes. Anyone know where I can get it and download to ITunes? Thanks in advance!!! :)
Exstacy Song for the club 1985 San Angelo Texas ....
This so cheesey but still better than today's junk
