This song SHOULD automatically play whenever someone goes Incognito on their browser

[niklas]

Imagine sitting in the studio and this banging melody pops in your head

[merlepatterson]

This song is burned into an entire generation of minds

[bleep]

There are certain 80’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them

Still freaking good in 2024, the 80s really was the era when the synthesiser was fully embraced in pop music. Very glad I was a teen in that time period, and I still love that music today.

[Juanthemtg]

Almost 40 years later, this is still great.

[devilsoffspring]

Still one of the coolest synthesizer grooves ever invented by the human species. Bar none.
It still sounds modern, like it was released a month ago. It's a shame everybody recognizes it as being almost 40 years old :)

[kerbo]

This is the Rickroll of a alternate Universe, don't know why . Just know it.

[sapphyrus]

40 years old and still sounds as cool as ever!

[steviestoosh]

First heard this at 11 and its still fresh at 50.

[jacksonscott]

This beat is unbelievably cool, the 80’s were the absolute best.

[saulf]

This tune was permanently embedded in my brain as a child.

[seoulmandan]

Not just a tune, but also a timeless universal truth wordlessly expressed in musical form.

[jedrzejsiata]

It's amazing that such synthesizer sounds have survived until now. It still sounds so modern even though it's 40 years old. Harold Faltermeyer is the best.😊

[quandoestiverlendooscometa]

1984: This sound is new

2019: This sound is old, even more cool

[egghamsil]

just realized that this tune has been in the minds of _multiple_ generations.

[annetteforeman]

Iconic! Now with Beverley Hills back great to hear it's still there.🔥🔥🔥

[jfrfilms]

i can't listen to this song anymore without hearing "DING DING" all the time

[zyphyris]

For those who finally found the name of this song after years of it looming in your head without a clue as to where you remembered it from, PLEASE make and add this to a playlist for songs that you forgot the name of; it'll come in the clutch in the future!
