Love this track from The Go-Go's.  Probably runs second in our Go-Go's list next to Lust To Love, a pretty unbeatable song. We are drawn to their more "dark" leaning stuff vs. the overly cheery, happy, poppy material.  The below performance was shot in 1981 at Palos Verde High School in Southern C...
