It wasn’t so much the song, it was the video. The song, without the video, would be on the ash heap of history by now.
No, it’s still a good piece.
I’m aware of the award-winning legend of the “video” but at the time we were not burdened with cable so that was not an issue for me. I just liked the tune.
This song is on heavy rotation on oldies type terrestrial radio stations in my area. It’s an ok song in my opinion, but I tend to change the station when it comes on, just because they play it so often.
