I remember this being all over the TV and radio in the early 80's. It set my teeth on edge then, and probably would now if I was brave enough to listen. The 'High School Musical' of it's era and just as cynically nauseous.

Instant gratification to remembering a time when innocence prevailed and dreams of Fame were possible!!
