The Beachy 80s: 'Fire In the Twilight' by Wang Chung (1985)

Ahoy 80s Fans! Its been awhile since I did a proper written post, the quickie posts are just too easy. So, I've got another Beachy 80s track for you, and it is...Fire In the Twilight by Wang Chung. The song was released in February of 1985 on motion picture soundtrack of the über-80s classic movie The Breakfast Club. Now, I don't know what makes it "beachy" persay, but I just had visions of driving down a beach-highway at sunset with the convertible top off, so there it is. If you want more info on Wang Chung, then check out some of me previous song posts of them, or look HERE. Well, that was easy! Til next time, watch this space for more 80s!
