    So who was Leah? Seriously? One site says it’s about his 2nd wife. Somewhere else, it’s not really about anyone in particular, they just liked the name.

    LMFAO! Awesome song for sure, but seriously …. wtf …. this vid deffinately makes the list of ” the cheesiest”
    and i think bow ties should have been illegal…..

    Did you not read the year? 1981 isnt last week exactly,lol and its not like Donnie kept the tie on ,thank goodness,haha Prolly more of a stage entrance prop then anything but man did we ever enjoy this song growing up(even now) In the early 80′s we felt like we owned the world and heading out on sat night in the super sport with wide slicks on(because we would ruin a good tire before morning,lol) Could these be the days we look back and say were the good ole days? time moves on,take care:)

  7. Musicmanray says:

    Exactly, Others have wondered the same thing(including myself) All of a sudden it went poof from our favorites? It sure was a nice quality original sound tract, live performances never sound the same as we use to here on the radio :)
