Back when Last.FM had the on-demand option, I received a message that I had listened to that track too many times and it was no longer available. Back to Kim! Her late 80's output was all about moving units so it's nice to see her earlier work getting some credit. She kind of followed the same career trajectory as Bananarama with innovative material followed by (admittedly sometimes fun) a cash grab. To the poster below, "Say You Really Want Me" was really her nadir! Early 80′s Wilde had a pretense of artistry which allowed her to indulge in interesting power pop gems like Chaos At The Airport.

My absolute favourite is "Say You Really Want Me" but to this day, I still do not understand why that song is missing from all the numerous Kim Wilde compilations, considering that the video was banned and it charted on the US charts (and was featured in the film "Running Scared", per Wikipedia). The video features hot shirtless men and Kim again writhing on a bed, fully clothed...so why has it become a forgotten classic? For heaven's sake, the video alone is nearly 8.5 minutes long! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LbpLRZwWtE&feature=PlayList&p=58C7C9D7E4B7EA37&index=0&playnext=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LbpLRZwWtE&feat...</a> Hi John,
