    1. P.S. I can't with this guy and his codpiece. Ridiculous! Only in the 80's!

    2. I used to set this album cover as the background for one of our computers in the recording studio when I worked at Clear Channel Radio in NJ. Pissed of my station manager so bad! He never did figure out who kept doing it!

  2. Ah yes. I remember this song, but honestly, I remember it more for Will Smith's version.
