"I Know Theres something going On" - I was just reminded of this song. I probably havent heard the song or seen the video since 1982.

Featuring production and drums by Phil Collins. A great song nevertheless.

I always liked that track which calls to mind the early springtime of that year (1982) whenever I hear it.

Seems to me that if ABBA had not disbanded after 'The Visitors' they could have successfully transitioned over to the NW genre. [|)]

Her name was Laura Trinchillo, and around the time we broke up I remember hearing this song. There was indeed "something going on" and when she found out I got the boot. That was 26 years ago. Songs
can be powerful memory triggers, huh ?

One of my all time favorites...maybe it has something to do with a weakness for Phil Collins' drumming from that early 80's period. Killer lead vocal by Frida too!
