from the album “After the Snow” Released August 1982

Modern English lead singer Robbie Grey, who wrote the song with his four bandmates, explained: "I don't think many people realized it was about a couple making love as the bomb dropped. As they made love, they become one and melt together."

Producer Hugh Jones encouraged Grey to softly sing the vocal track, as opposed to his natural inclination to shout. He subsequently employed a softer vocal technique on the rest of the album

There is some famous humming in this song, which takes place after the bridge around the 3-minute mark. This was producer Hugh Jones' idea

(Note: also around that same time you will see me making motions to keep my cat away from the screen- she jumped up on the desk while this was being recorded)

The line, "Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace" is a reference to Modern English's first album, Mesh & Lace.

Was pretty much a staple played at every party and club - along with "Rock This Town" by Stray Cats, "Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol, and "What I Like About You" by The Romantics.

The song has been used in numerous television commercials, usually for food. Most famously, it featured in 1990 Burger King ads, but it was also used in commercials for Ritz crackers, M&M's and Taco Bell.
