About
Greg Ham's tenor sax solo is the sole improvisation on this recording. Set at a moderate 130 BPM with a rock feel in E, the solo runs approximately 31 seconds. The song's quirky arrangement, with its syncopated keyboard pattern and Ham's sax punctuations, captured the nervous energy of early 1980s new wave while maintaining an accessibility that propelled it to the top of charts worldwide. Greg Ham was 27 to 28 years old at the time of this 1981 recording.
