• Cindy from Tempe AzThe song the ice cream truck is playing at the start of the video is "And The Band Played On".
• Manfred, From Vienna from Wien, Österreichphänomenal, Sommer, 1983
• Dougfresh1 from BuffaloI am not sure if I am thinking of the correct song but I think it is about a first sexual experience. I have always loved the haunting ambivalence...
• Jennifer from IndianaGood catch, Bob! White man came to my attention via Bix, who came to my attention via hometown hero Hoagy.
  As for this song... In the summer of 1982, I had a romance that was so magical it can be re-lived through the songs of that year. By 1983, the dream was gone. "Suddenly Last Summer", from 1983, is a powerful trip back to 1982. Just for good measure, 1983's "I'm Still Standing" was a message to him that I could and did get by without him. Other Motels songs cascaded through 82-83 with a particular clarity that I cherish to this day, 2017. Thank you, Motels!
• Bob from Kingwood, TxIs it possible that the song from the ice cream truck was "My Angel", a 1928 jazz hit for Paul Whiteman? The "downhill" riffs after the second verse and at the song's ending are eerily similar to those that begin and end "My Angel."
• Esskayess from Dallas, TxThis IS a 'haunting little song,' but always pleasant to hear.
