A classic single that I liked the minute it was released in 1984. I was aware of Pete Burns from the Liverpool punk scene in the late 1970's but he never found fame until he wrote and sang this dance pop jewel.
It eventually went to number 1 in the charts and the key to it's catchiness is the names of the producers - the genius hit factory that is Stock, Aitken and Waterman (although it's mostly Pete Waterman who was responsible for this one). This was their first number one record before they went on to Kylie, Jason et al.
Of course Pete Burns could never really follow this tune (an impossible task) but he continue to find fame on TV and for other reasons until he died in 2016 aged just 57.
On a personal level, I remember dancing at clubs and parties to this record, it never failed to get people on the dance floor (that's still the case today). And I've always had a soft spot for song titles that (have parentheses).
