A small aside: "Burning Up" simply WAS the song that made me sit up and take note of this artist. It was also the signpost to me at least that she would not simply be a one-or-two-hit-wonder, but an artist that will be around for a while at least. Never did I think that I would be buying her single during the second decade of the following century though.

Not a big fan but Burning Up is one of hers that I like.

Well look at that ... Rage playing the Burning Up video right now as I type this (just the regular music video - nothing to do with Countdown - though I am counting down the days until I get to see more retro goodness!)

"Burning Up' was just on again, on ABC2 as part of the New Year's special. The hour or so I watched included a few rarely seen eighties videos, like Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time'.
