The original version of this song features the bass on just the chorus and bridge. But when you're playing a live gig, it's better to have more sound than less.

This is my little live arrangement of Spotify's 5th most-streamed song in 2011.

This song came up during a recent rehearsal as a possibility. I'm really curious how the bar crowds will respond to this. Even though it peaked at 13 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart in 1986, I wonder how many people will recognize it. I'm really excited to give it a try, but it might not last long. We'll see.

I heard this song while waiting in the lift line at Mount Snow, VT over the holidays.  I pulled out my phone on the chair lift and made a note reminding myself to learn it.  

It's pretty easy to learn the notes but the rhythm is a little tricky and it's long at 5.5 minutes.
