Early 80's classic pop hit. 1982.
Not sure when the Gary Jules version was out, 3 or 4
years ago I think It was definately at Christmas.

The 'Walk this Way' cover is dreadful.
It's managed to take a decent track and suck all the energy out
of it to make something where they clearly couldn't be arsed
and though that because it was for charity it was OK to release
any old tosh.

You've reached Col's nostalgic sig of the month!
I find it kind of funny,
I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I'm dying
are the best I've ever had.
