“Twilight Zone” (from Golden Earring’s 16th album, CUT) was released in late Summer 1982, and was actually inspired by the 1980 Robert Ludlum novel (and later, the Matt Damon film), THE BOURNE IDENTITY.Īfter reaching No. And, BTW, if there are any radio programmers of classic rock stations out there reading this post, cut it out with the bullshit edited versions of songs like “Radar Love” already!?! The album version is only a minute and 14 seconds longer, c’mon! Play the whole thing dammit! I shouldn’t have to get angry about this shit.
My introduction to the Dutch band Golden Earring was like most folks – the 1973 hit, “Radar Love,” though it was years after its release when “Radar Love” caught my ear. There are some songs from the 80s that I never liked when it came out (and in the case of “Rhythm Of The Night” by DeBarge, Chicago’s “You’re The Inspiration” or Lita Ford’s “Kiss Me Deadly,” I still don’t) there are some 80s songs I didn’t like initially but grew to like, such as Charlie Dore’s “Pilot Of The Airwaves” (though it hasn’t aged very well) there are some songs from the 80s I liked initially but don’t like now (like the recently-unretired Phil Collins, and his song, “Sussudio”) and then, there are songs that I abso-bleeping-lutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the first time I heard it and still effing LOVE LOVE LOVE, including David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance,” Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time,” INXS’ “The One Thing,” U2’s “Desire” and one of my all-time favorites, “Twilight Zone” by Golden Earring.
