Another track to celebrate KCQN being reborn as 103.1 The Wave!
This was my favorite Thompson Twins song during that era. A weird thing was that I found two different editions of the "Here's to Future Days" album on CD and one of them didn't have this song on it.

I found this from groovedigger00 in the comments of the "unreleased 12-inch" video. Apparently the CD's I found without this track were the UK release.
@aramanth It was to be the 2nd single after "Lay Your Hands On Me", but
Tom collapsed from exhaustion right before its release, and Alannah saw
that as bad luck, since the song was called "Roll Over", so she had them
pull the UK single .... however, she couldn't convince them not to put
it on the US version of the album. I talked to Alannah that year and
she said "the record company in the US said that our album just wouldn't
sell at all without that song, so they ignored me and included it."
