That would explain why the lyrics seemed a little... ...dubious.
All right tonight's the night Tonight I've made my mind up It's time to get it right Just like we did before
Tonight's the night all right And though I know you ain't quite sure You're getting all excited 'cause you don't know what's in store
So what you've got to do Is keep our little secret Do what I tell you to And leave the rest to me
I'm guaranteeing you When I get in this kind of mood I've got a little something I can introduce to you
Hey today's the day I lay it on the line The way to make you stay and keep me company It's time to get my way 'cause night time is the right time And when I'm feeling fine I like my action guaranteed
All right tonight's the night I can't wait any longer I'm turning out the light and locking up that door You might put up a fight But you'll be crying out for more When you'll be getting what you really came here looking for

I started reading those lyrics and I was all just like "ahh, perhaps we're all just reading stuff into it, y'know, with hindsight - projecting sinister meanings onto innocent lyrics".
And then there was the bit about the secret and I was all just like "oh, OK, that sounds a bit creepy, but y'know, it could just be a secret love affair between people who're in relationships with other people and have to sneak about and stuff".
And then...
Then...
Then.
Oh God.

It actually a cover, not as I first thought written for Shakey/anyone who'd cover it

This was the B side to Johnny Come Home,
Apparently they took the Ronnie Ray-gun stuff off another artist's recording with no credit/payment.
According to some bloke on Youtube anyway.

Miming to samples alert!!!
I love a bit of late 80s house music but blatant samples overload is a bit too much even for me. Somehow, Pump Up the Volume got it just right; a lot of the stuff that followed didn't.

Jennifer Rush, Power of Love, 1985, on TOTP now. That's one of my nans all time faves. Terrible hair and outfit, great make up.

Just looking at that makes me feel like it's the run-up to Christmas 1991 and I've drunk 6 litres of Sainsburys lager out of plastic bottles.
