Ok but nothing special.

Peaked at #8 in Australia, 1988 (AMR).

An odd sort of song...more drums (and lots of them - they had 4 drummers!!!) and NO guitars!!! Still creates a brilliant song that sounds awesome in the nightclub. Inaya Day covered it for that market, but this version would've held up nicely in its place.
**
don't like this at all. can't believe it reached #1 in new zealand :!:
***
Average.
*****
I still love this song. It's a fanny hair away from being 6 stars. It made the charts in America and featured on the soundtrack of a big Hollywood movie back then so take that haters! ;)

"Well momma told me when I was young. Stand tall girl, you're number one. She said, 'you can't be what you wanna be, but you can shake the course of your destiny'."
****
There's something rather addictive about this song that hooks me in, I like it.
****
Cool Aussie rock track.
**
I find it hard to really get into this inconsistant beat and rediculous lyrics
