"This mega hi-nrg disco anthem was a massive international club hit from '83/'84 and beyond. It was recently voted the

"All Time Best Pride Anthem" ever! :)

I've always loved this song. It has well written, intelligent lyrics which tell the story of somebody standing up for (and loving) themselves. The singer means business! and is NO longer gonna be fucked around! Great vocals and production! Hugely popular with gay folks, black folks, suppressed folks... hell...even housewives loved it!

Actually, this song is for everybody.
