Everybody's Doin' a Brand New Dance Now

Australian child star Kylie Minogue released her first single in 1987, and it became Australia's biggest hit of the 1980's.  It is a remake of the popular 1962 single by R&B singer Little Eva.  The song peaked at #3 in the U.S. and introduced us to a young 19 year old Kylie seeming just a little too happy in this video if you ask me.  I was never a big fan of the song and am still baffled to this day over its' success.  Here is Kylie Minogue with "Locomotion"...
