Bu Bu Sex managed to get all these, well, rather normal and kinda odd elements together and make this track really good. It starts out pretty basic, a nice track that you wouldn't perhaps play that loudly, but then it gets so good, especially when the chorus kicks in.
This is what I love about italo, so much of the stuff just sneaks up on you. It's made to be somewhat low-key,not created as a dancefloor stomper, but there's something about so many of the rather slow-ish songs that make you wanna play them repeatedly, loud, and, ultimately, dance your knockers off.
This is not the most obvious hitter, but it sure works.

As far as I know, Bu Bu Sex's members did not release much in the world of Italo Disco, or any music genre for that matter; most of them seem to have waited until the 90s to do more music. The singer, however, appeared on a Violent Femmes album, but I bet that song isn't half as good as this.
p.s. there are oh so many Italo bands with "sex" in their name, I love it.

Thank you.
Blekksprut, does it mean like an octopus or something that squirts ink?

This is one of my favorite songs that you have posted. I got to hear about 45 seconds of it in a Flemming Dalum mix but he puts the next record on way too fast, so I'm really happy to get to finally hear it in full. When the song finally comes in at 45 sec, then hits you at 58, man, that is the best stuff in the world. Were you actually able to find this on vinyl?

No, unfortunately not. The one's I have seen are wayyy too pricey, and most of those are actually not that good copies (VG+ at most). One day, friend, one day. :)
