I always have the vision of Eddie Murphy hanging on the back of that truck destroying cars in Detroit when I hear this song.
Neutron Dance, released in September 1983, was written by Danny Sembello and Allee Willis. Their demo, featuring vocals by singer/songwriter/producer Arnold McCuller, was included on the album #1 With A Bullet, released in September 1988. The album inclkuded ten demos of songs that became a number-one hit. Among the others: True Colors, We Built This City, Walk Like An Egyptian and I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
A lot of two star "meh/bleh" songs this week

It was recorded by Phil Phillips & The Twilights and reached #2 on the August 24 1959 Hot 100 behind the Browns' The Three Bells. The Twilights were actually Cookie & His Cupcakes, a Louisiana septet who had a minor hit earlier in 1959 with Mathilda, co-written by George Khoury and Huey "Cookie" Thierry.
