When I wrote this song and presented it to John Kalodner in the David Geffen company, everyone thought it was going to be a huge hit and wanted it to be the first single. It didn't chart very well and the video wasn't an MTV smash surprising to all of us, then came "I Can't Drive 55", the unexpected smash that kicked my career in the ass. sold 1 million records, who would've thought. But it's still a great song.
