I was born in 76, my parents got MTV in 1980 when it first came out. One of the best things they ever did. I love all the early 80's music, a lot of which was European. (New Wave).
Maybe a bit earlier. When I was living in España in 1973-1975 this was the hottest song in the country. Had lots of fun with the local guapas listening to this over many bottles of Clarete wine. Great times.
Strange times indeed, great times for sure. Nena, Nina Hagen and this nut case, even this gang of wierdo's was not as bad as Modern Talking, ABBA or Wham. LOL
