This song was a staple for us "freaks" back in the day. It was on every mix tape. My cover band played this song, sometimes opening up shows with it because it's such a banger.
When you talk about 80's music (in the UK) a lot of people automatically think of the likes of Duran Duran or Kylie Minogie - both of which I love. But there was soooo much more going on - from Goth, to Ska to post-punk to soul, rap and hip-hop - plus Indie and Heavy Metal of course. Love that you and your boy check out so many different genres. What do most of the tracks you review have in common - quality and creativity. So many artists trying new things. Keep it up fella!
Shawn, Interesting facts you research and share. I agree with you, a high energy song with excellent drumming and guitars.It is a hard driving rocker. Cool lyrics. I agree, the singer looked somewhat like a pirate the way he was dressed. Live performance videos are always fun to watch. Lol Your reaction is cool as you are listening to this toe tapper.

haha great memories!
The Cult is one of those rare bands that has a plethora of great songs and I mean a lot
👍
Need to check out more. Thanks!
I believe Ian Astbury also sang with The Doors (of the 21st Century) - Ray Manzarek and Robbie Kreiger.
oh wow didn't know that. We covered the entire Doors Discography with Jim but nothing after. Thanks Char!
Guitarist Billy Duffy is the heart and soul of The Cult. Astbury was often too drunk to remember the lyrics.
oh wow that is crazy. Thanks for sharing and watching!
