The Excellent 80's Has Been Around for Such a Long Time Now

I always thought today's song sounded very 1950ish... the song was actually written in 1979 and performed by England's Kristy MacColl and became a hit overseas... it wasn't until this British American stage and television actress, comedienne, and singer got a hold of it in 1983 before it became an American hit... The Tracey Ullman show spawned The Simpsons which still airs new episodes to this day... with Sir Paul McCartney making a cameo in the video, here is Tracey Ullman with "They Don't Know"...
