I’d not heard this SAW produced #96 smash before just now. Caught it listening to a podcast about obscure movie soundtrack songs from the 80s as this appears in Summer School.

Love most of Elizabeth Daily’s songs that I’ve heard.
 
There's a Debbie Harry version of this about as well.

I do like Mind Over Matter very much but it can't hold a candle to Love in the Shadows. :disco:
 
It was years before I found out she is Tommy Pickles! This is a classic 80s song, very underrated but how the fuck did I not know this was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman? I'm very ashamed at myself!

It seems Elizabeth pretty much sang over the backing track for Debbie's version:



Debbie's version wasn't even the original though:

 
I haven't heard the original before. Definitely prefer the SAW production and the exaggerated phrasing of 'Mind over MA-TTER' feels a bit odd when you're used to the other versions.

Just seeing that the original of Jackie is also on the Summer School soundtrack:
