I remember it like it was yesterday. My mum and dad was every so confused. But they liked the song so didn't really care!
I didn't buy this Chicago song. I did have a soppy dance to this in a nightclub in Sunderland at the time though. Thankfully it was with some random woman rather than by myself...

I prefer Foreigner's ballads of the era. Waiting for a Girl and I Wanna know what love is?
Confession time - I actually liked this Chicago track as an eleven year-old.
Truth be told, I still don't mind it.

"Can you do lifts?"
"Yes"
"Great, we'll have you."
"Do you have a clean pair of knickers?"
"Yes."
"Perfect. Then we'll have you too."

When I watched Wavelength performing 'Hurry Home' in one of the Yewtree'd edtions recently it reminded me of Chicago...soundwise.
Edit: It wasn't Yewtree'd, just cut from the early edition.

Love Come Down — the best produced single in the charts at the moment. Sounds more like 1986/87 than 1982 with that computerised-sounding bass line. Not sure whether it actually was or not.

Good call. In my memory, I thought it was much later than '82.

production sounds like Madonna's Holiday to me...and that was 1983.
Even Richard Ashcroft would cross to the other side of the road if he saw Survivor striding towards him
At least we have a couple of years to go till we have to put up with Bryan Adams at no1 for a year or so.
An oddity of the charts at the moment is the number of British bands with big hits not appearing in the TOTP studio — The Jam, Dire Straits, ABC, Duran Duran.
