This is a truly great song, it's got all the elements coming together: Pete's driving guitar never takes center stage, but fills the tune with sonic goodness. Bill's drums - just great drumming, and solid production. The chorus has one of my favorite bass lines, and I really like Mike's backing vocals. This is a pretty early example of Michael's growing confidence in his voice, he never let's up and then reaches this great crescendo: "All of a sudden these days...".
Keep in mind, this is 1986! Top hit for that year? "That's What Friends Are For".
By the way, I always thought the first line was "I'm not beating off, you are". Turns out I was wrong.
