This was one of the first singles I received as a kid. I played it for hours on my small phonograph in my bedroom, bouncing up and down on my bed until one of my parents reprimanded me. <br /><br />Years later, this song still has passion and a strong beat. Even though I like Bananarama, I can't stand their cover of it. The synthesizers and girly harmonies dilute the "woman power" theme.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02508435958410727747noreply@blogger.com
