A pop song sung by, and for, people who usually wind up with the Opel bloody Kadett in Top Trumps. Sample lyric:
- Take a look at my girlfriend
- She's the only one I got.
- Not much of a girlfriend —
- I never seem to get a lot.
Breakfast in America unexpectedly went multi-platinum and became an instant global smash on its release in 1979 and remains one of the all-time great AOR albums, despite being released against a background fashion of angry postpunk and gender-fluid new romantic synthpop. For that reason, to this very day, Breakfast in America infects millions of people around the world - including yours truly - with the delusional hope that one day, their particular dog will have its day.
