China Girl has always sucked, eh?.

I was about to put forth a theory that the mediocre "China Girl" and "Let's Dance" must have been riding a wave started by the awesome "Modern Love," but I just checked and discovered that ML was the *third* single released from the album, after those other two. I guess people actually like those songs, then?

A telling sign that ML was a third single was that while LD and CG both had splashy big-budget narrative videos, it got the lip-synched "live concert clip" treatment.

haha yeah
Let's Dance rules though, as do the vocals on China Girl

Sorry this is a really poor album...even the cover of ‘Criminal World’ (which is a great song) changes the lyrics so the subversive nature is lost...and I’ll say this quietly but I really dislike Stevie Ray Vaughan’s playing...it’s just somehow rong’...

'Ricochet' was robbed.
