[QUOTE="invitro, post: 220093, member: 446"] [b]Device - "Hanging on a Heart Attack" (August 1986, #35)[/b] One more 1986 classic for tonight. This one is a super-forgotten gem. It hit #35 in August 1986 in the US (it wasn't a single in the UK), and was Device's only Top 40 hit. It's cheezy as hell, and the video is about as cheezy as the 1980's gets (though it seems more like a 1987 video, proving that Device was highly influential). It's still an awesome Top 40 song. It makes me think of riding my bike around the neighborhood to trade baseball cards, in 100-degree heat. I have always paired, or doubled, this song with another one-hit wonder song out at the same time: "The Captain of Her Heart" by Double (pronounced doo-BLAY). Non-trivia: the bassist / background vocalist is Holly Knight, who wrote dozens of 1980's hits, including the classic "Love Touch" by Rod Stewart, who I believe has a fan following on this forum.
