😢 Reagan and Thatcher!!! History WILL describe them as the worst even though we are still living through WIMPY politicians who still haven't fixed what they broke. I cannot believe what's happening in 2024. At least we had some good music and bands like this and SOME people learned from it. In 2024, I'm sick that old racists were able to make new little racists. As GenX I was looking forward to just outliving the racists. 😂 And don't even get me started about other politics and cruel agendas!!! oh well. See you during the revolutions! We'll have a dance party while everything burns. 😂 ❤ and 🍻

I misunderstood what this song was about at age 19 in 1982. I was an ignorant American. After seeing the Crown episode of Margaret Thatcher and the Falkland episode did I suddenly put the words and history together. It was and ya such a vibrant dance song that I thought it was surely about trying to get a girl named Margaret interested in his love. I guess it is.
