"King of Wishful Thinking"

"King of Wishful Thinking" is from the 1990 soundtrack of "Pretty Woman" and performed by the British Pop Band Go West. Great song!

The year 1990- I was 10 years old and I bought the cassette tape or should I say my mother bought me the tape. I was so proud when I got it, as I had seen "Pretty Woman" and I loved the movie( I still love that movie I've seen it like a gazillion times), it's like a Modern Fairy Tale/Cinderella Story. Well in real life there's not a big chance of a prostitute meeting a rich,successful and good man, who takes her under his wing and turns her into a princess. But it is one of those movies that make you feel good after you see it and that's usually the feeling we as humans are after.

One of the girls in school thought I was such a "nerd" because I brought the cassette to school months after it was already off "the scene" and I used to always listen to it over and over again. I guess I've always been a "nerd" because I still love music from way back and most of the people out there who like old music must also be "nerds". I'm proud to still love this song and I've never been prouder to be a "nerd".

The Video below is the live version, as I couldn't get hold of a good quality original video. Peter Cox's Vocals are very good considering it's all live.
