we sang this in high school choir and my friend (a sophomore) hadn't heard it before. the choir teacher played the Palmer recording and he said "THIS SOUNDS LIKE DEATH METAL".

also the song is classic for its cheez

The first eighties comps came out in 1992-1993, by the way.

See, another massive #2 hit, an example of how adroitly Palmer could adapt electronic R&B to his own ends.
