such a damn good song … never get tired of it!
Thank you
Fantastic. Very Tanks Paul
Thanks Paul,
I really liked this song back in the day. It still sounds awesome – perhaps especially because of your great rip. Had kind of forgotten all about “The Hooters.” Now you’ve reminded me.
I don’t want to reduce the value of Paul’s rip, but regarding the release itself the most interesting thing of this UK 12″ is the colorful artwork, which looks nicer than the European version.

Thanks Paul!! The Hooters are always a welcome post, and very appropriate for Halloween!

Great record for the spooky season Paul. This song recieved quite a few spins on my old college radio station. I haven’t heard it in quite some time so it is very welcome. Love how you pick songs for Halloween that aren’t the same old tired tracks. You are so unique in your musical preferences.

Thank you, Jeff for some reason I always thought this single placed higher on the Billboard chart. It was eclipsed by their other single “And We Danced”.
