They did a nice job of it.

I've sung that a couple of times in a concert, but the weird time was once singing a wedding where they wanted me to sing it. Yes, you read that correctly, me as in solo. It was weird, jumping back and forth from part to part and deciding what to leave out. They really liked it, but I thought it was very strange and not nearly as effective. Regular people don't understand music.

I've been a 5th grade Instrumental Music Teacher since 1985. I'm am currently in my 39th year of doing that.
I also sing in my church choir and play the piano. :)
At least I "get you".
 


True story - I was at a big 80s party a couple of weeks ago, it was a fund-raiser and the theme was Miami Vice / 80s. Big party, everyone was dressed up in 80s gear. Half the dudes looked like Sonny Crockett.

Anyway, the DJ was playing the most obvious, overdone 80s stuff ever, it was getting lame. I looked at the dude and figured he was only about 30 - but hey, if you're a pro you have to do your homework. At one point, I was near him and leaned over and said "Play some legit 80s dance club stuff. Play some Midnight Star!"

He goes "What?" "I said 'Freakazoid'? Come on. 'No Parking on the Dance Floor'? Come on man!"

He just ignored me and played Pour Some Sugar on Me. So lame.
 
I come back to this song often - it's just so fantastically layered. The build. The vocals. The perfect instrumentation. 10/10, no notes.

Yeah, that is pretty lame. He could of played some Lakeside, Kool & The Gang, Confunkshun, etc

Oh man, there's so much great stuff he should have been playing. I was yelling "Bobby Brown!"


I love this clip because the vocal is live - most of those show clips aren't
