Christmas 1981 and this was No. 1 in the charts. I was home on leave from the Navy. So was my best mate and we had a great Christmas leave. Last time I saw him as he was killed in the Falklands. He's still 22 and I'm nearly 60. Every time I hear this song I think of him.
Its hard for me to listen to this song. This was one of my moms favorite song in the 80s. She used to sing this to me when i was three... we'd sing it together... then we had a block party im staten island and she let me sing it at their talent show and i won first prize. Lol rip. Mom. Love u
From 1981 and now its 2020
This will forever be a classic. Next year it will be 40 years since its release and nowadays people can't even listen to pop for more than weeks.
