Well, it just happened to me.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 89, this song got some airplay on the local alternative station (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.weqx.com\/\">WEQX!<\/a>), and I liked it so much I ran out and bought the album, and played it over and over.

The video is all <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_Romantic\">new romantic<\/a>, goth-lite, but it's not a goth song. The band wants to look like a metal band, but it's not a metal song. The singer overdoes his faux-operatic shtick while looking like early <a href=\"http:\/\/uk.youtube.com\/watch?v=v2GtrGnAIRk\">Ian Asbury<\/a> - but sounding more like the guy from Queensryche than Jim Morrison. And this was the single...
