Wow, this is nice. I never expected to get on the roches train after being forced to listen to their christmas cassette in my mom's car, like, all the time. But here I am!
@Matan True, it's a pretty carbon copy - but it was the first I'd heard of the song and I loved it immediately. And it led me to The Roches, so thanks Terry!

Damn straight up, yes. From one of my favourite albums ever. Love it so much.

Incidentally, I came across the Roches via Terry Hall, who covered this track during his Colourfield days: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clKJWuWSF2E

@davidovitch Never heard the cover, i love the original and though i LOVE Terry, it doesn't add much to the original.

@davidovitch That's certainly enough! I have a LOT of things to thank Terry for, too.
