Best video evermannn jdkdkfkfodkdjkdkdndkdkdnxksoskdjxkodxmmx

This song (and, video) came out early in the year I graduated from high school, and, for me, it was the anthem of &quot;The Class of 1984.&quot; As a teenage boy, I never realized just how great this video (or, any other) was/is, especially when I was making-out with my girlfriend while it was on MTV; or, making love to her as the song was playing on the radio. I also didn&#39;t realize that the director of &quot;The French Connection;&quot; &quot;The Exorcist;&quot; and, &quot;To Live and Die in LA,&quot; also directed &#39;this&#39; video!?!? How cool is that to have a song like this to remember your high school graduation year, and, that summer, by! A great song and video; a great director; and, a great, beautiful, and, talented singer...all in one ±5-minute video! :) This song defines &quot;The Class of 1984!&quot; Especially, The Summer of 1984! I just graduated from high school; no responsibilities; no accountabilities; living with parents; bum job; nice car; good friends; great girlfriend; great meeting places (Riverside &#39;amusement&#39; Park and The Rollaway Skating Rink in Agawam, Massachusetts); the day mattered; creatures of the night mattered more; no will to fight; party, party, party; then, the summer ended, and...life and reality set in! Besides retirement, it&#39;s the only time in your life you&#39;ll ever have it that good and that easy...the summer after high school graduation! It&#39;s been a great life, and, this song defines and set the stage for me (us) in 1984! :) Thank you for the vividly great memories, Laura Branigan, and, RIP.﻿
