I think I even searched for it a couple for it a couple of times over the years to no avail.

    Kid Creole always loosely reminded me of Morris Day 😊 I feel like he would have fit with The Time quite well.

    Reminds me of my only one-night stand--my co-worker's younger sister, whom I fell in love with at first site. It was at my co-worker's Halloween Party (1986) and this song was playing when I met her. We danced, talked, drank (not like Endicott) all night and then went to bed and like Endicott, made love hard and long. I gave her my phone number after that and she said she would call. Well, I'm still waiting for that call 30 + years later! Also, a month later, my co-worker took a job on the East Coast (I was living in LA at the time) and I lost touch with him. But this song has special meaning for me.

    I heard this back in 1985 when I stayed with my uncle in East Cleveland (when East Cleveland was actually nice) and it stuck in my head. He had MTV and we didn't have cable The video, the song. I love it. It's catchy as hell.

    He Was the "Original" Even before..."Morris Day!" Yet very versatile! I Can't believe he's never mentioned in the line of Prince or Morris Day!! He was way before them!! I Loved this group. And those "Hott ladies!" The One reminds me of Alice on "The Honeymooners!"

    I was a big fan of Kid Creole and the Coconuts album "Wiseguy" from 1982. When this video came out around 85 I had a friend who used to ask me "Hey Brad you seen that Endicott video yet?" Not only had I never seen it but I never heard it until today. Sadly that friend died some years ago when he fell from a window 7 stories up. R.I.P. T.Y. Jordan. BTW ...I am a lot like Endicott.
