I'd totally forgotten about this song. Never was into these cats but it ends up being played on The Mighty Boosh by Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher) doing some innovative dancing. I tracked it down as it was a sample on one of my favourite De La Soul tracks - the slinky beats and synth work are genius. Damn. Easy to laugh at the video now but in a cold, recession shocked 1981 it is genius. It speaks ill of our era that I doubt anything that is a number one single now will age this well.

If it wasn't for the vocals, that's the kind of thing they'd have as the hold music at work. Give me more sax!
