  Seven Songs for the Week #131

  Jason Carty

  I was listening to this song in the car last week and asking myself whether or not it was the greatest song of all time. I mean, it still sounds great, it's funny, preposterous, swaggering, catchy, groovy... Robert Palmer was 39 when he got this song to number two in the US charts in 1988 - we are quite far away from something like that happening in 2025. A 40 year old placing a rock song at the top of the charts? Nope. Also, there was a Pepsi ad that went with the song, again, totally normal for 1988. https://youtu.be/2v7dD4LNY48

  Anyways, having blasted the song in the car, imagine my surprise, dear reader, when Simply Irresistible opened up the first episode of the new series of Slow Horses - thus proving my point that it's the greatest song of all time.
