This was the first song I heard. It was one of those moments where you never forget where you were and what you were doing. And yes I too first heard it from the 'Times Square' album. Oh what a movie and for XTC to be on the same album as "I'm your damn dog now". Holy shit that was aberrant as hell.

Okay I am chronalogically confused about the year this song was released. How can it have been released in 1985 if it appeared as the soundtrack to Times Square and in the film in the year 1980?

The world needs to wake up to "take this town". The world should have woken up a long time ago to XTC!

This is the first song I ever heard by the group, and I became a total XTC nut for years. Still love the group. There's so much going on in this song. It stood head and shoulders above the rest of the music on the Times Square soundtrack, much of which is good nonetheless. A pop gem by Andy and the guys. Thanks for posting.

I got this ep in a National Record Mart (or some such store) in a mall of all places... probably in 1989 or 1990. I LOVE this song. It's a great ep. So glad I found it!
