American Top 40 PastBlast Redux, 3/15/86: Opus, “Live Is Life”

Before I started this blog, I posted about songs from old AT40s on Facebook, January-July 2017. I’ll be moving them here over time. This entry has been edited somewhat from the original.

This song was part of the Austrian Invasion that hit our shores in the early part of the year (okay, it was just these guys and Falco, but at the time I believe that tripled the number of Austrian acts to hit the top 40 in the rock era).  Even though it’s plenty repetitive, I’ve always had a genuine fondness for this track–I find it a real pick-me-up.  It’s debuting at #38, and reached #32.
