The song was released as the first single from the 1982 album of the same name the same year.

It was knocked off the top only to return to No. 1 two weeks later. The song also showed substantial longevity, spending fourteen weeks in the top ten of the Hot 100 chart. My personal thoughts: Oldish, weird (the vocals dont sound natural), but catchy and the instrumental bit is really good. Would occasionally listen Unrelated but the MV editing is horrible

At least it’s catchy though Also really vulgar and graphic violence Edit: Go search it yourself. You have been warned though Edit edit: Just picked audio without a bad video Up to date now
I respect you trying @Garrincha, but if you are not a fan of Western music why do you care? And seriously Coolio, the Steve miller band and Carly Simon in the top 100? Although Klaus voorman is the man, played bass on the plastic Ono band LP. A definite top 100 album.
I am a fan, just haven't found a artist who I really like Oh and I like J pop more so you'll hear me talk more about it
No and No. I think there's only 1 non English song and it's pretty obvious (didn't double check though) Will try daft punk soon
