Re the song, I loved the 12" version, and have never understood why that keyboard riff, which surely made the song, was left off the 7". I also remember Alphaville completely cashing in on the song with Big in Japan.

This being the song with Margaret Trudeau's backing vocal, right? (Role taken by the blonde one in the video..)

There's a piece in this month's Mojo (One Hit Wonders), the one with the Who on the front.

In high school, we used to request this song at school dances and then get a large number of people to do the ren-faire arm-swing-and-knee-kick move from the video. Good times.

Is the "Where Do The Boys Go" video there?
I remember that one mostly for the appearance of M. Bonhomme, Quebec's winter carnival mascot. (Looks a bit like that marshmallow-guy from "Ghostbusters".)
