I think I've read that it was an album track from a few years earlier, but in 1990 got remixed and released as a single. I only know this version.

...And a cover version released a few years later retitled "Jamaican in New York". blah blah

That was a terrible "live" performance. The singer mimed badly and he even mimed the piano playing badly.

That was a tolerable episode, with slight highlights by MC Hammer, Suzanne Vega, Blue Pearl, Tricky Disco and the Soup Dragons.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

That's a lot of "slight highlights"! happy
