The tune was drilled into my head first through a video game, Atari 2600 version:
My 9 year old self had assumed that with the sci fi album cover, this would be a space game. Instead, you inhabited Steve Perry and ran away from various agents, promoters and groupies (which were giant hearts that chased you ... running away from girls was something 9 year old me could get behind).
PF500 does well: "You can tell something about a person's relationship to popular music as a whole by how they feel about this song. Generally, people fall into two camps." PF500 goes on to describe the "guilty pleasure" camp and the "just plain like it" camp. "You'll notice no consideration of those who don't care for the song at all."
RATING: 77.
Great song and even greater video game.
