A number 12 hit in the UK singles chart, this was Huey Lewis and The News’ fifth UK single release.
I went out and bought it on 29 August 1986 towards the end of my long summer holiday. It had entered the chart on 23 August and was a slow burner, smouldering away for six weeks until it reached its highest position.
As with all HLATN tracks (and AOR tracks in general?) it is a pleasant enough jaunt through four minutes 20s of radio time, but it isn’t particularly edgy or challenging. It sits in my collection alongside some example of edginess, but it merits its place their because it reminds me of the time, those lazy summer days of 1986 when all was well in my world.
