I think when some of the goth nites here get on the retro kick the DJs pull this song out (along with Berlin's "sex (i'm a..)", funnily), so yeah.

.. is one of the best lines ever? Talk about 'cut to the point'.
(One of the first mainstream pop tracks to do this, afterwards they all did)

Yes, Michael Des Barres wrote "Obsession". It goes well in well with Bananarama's self-titled album.
And the "Obsession" video? Once again, Thank you, YouTube.

I sat on a National Express bus once from Leeds to London, and got talking to the couple on my left. After some small talk, they got to the point, proudly announcing that their daughter was in the top ten. It turned out they were the parents of the singer with Animotion, and they were clearly on a mission to tell as many people as they could. Bless...

I remember this song well. It's kind of got a relentless feel to it that suits the subject matter well.
I'm amazed it's never been subjected to a Marilyn Manson/NIN/Emo cover. Slowed right down, natch.

The random Antony & Cleopatra bit in the middle of the band posing and performing in the video is *interesting*.
Also, this:
like a butterflya wild a butterflyi will collect youand capture you
A *wild* butterfly you say? As opposed to what, a tame butterfly? They don't live long enough to teach 'em anything!
