This is a Fantastic song and Very beautiful Kim , My Friend and my girlfriend at the time in 1987 You keep me hanging on was our song then we got married now she is no longer alive she passed away 2013 . so when i here You keep me hanging on it brings me right back to 1987 at the bar dancing like crazy . So Kim You rock Girl . You remind me so much of our Nancy Martinez from Montreal. Song For Tonight reminds me a lot of You Keep me Hanging on would have been cool if you both done a Duet All the Best
No, its not possible that this is better than the original, for the simple reasons that the original came out around 30 years before this, and without the original this new version wouldnt exist, so, credit for the lyrics, the signature riff, and the song structure belongs to the original. The original was limited by the current musical technology of the time, but still managed to make a great sounding song. So with all that in mind, its a bit disrespectful to suggest this version may be better. This new version is made with modern technology and has been hyped up considerably and is a homage to the original, but no cover, no matter how good, can ever surpass an original.
There was a time when I’d have joined the Kids in America, to be in the wild with Kim. Or to be in the garden with her and pruned her bush. I’d even have flown to Cambodia with her to hear the sound of water on glass. But that was then and this is now and “oh oh oh, I can’t let go, I need her so, tonight! Because I luv blond!

"Kim Wilde - born to be Wild". This song seems to be written for HER. She always transmitted a special force. And Blondie or Kylie Minogue would not be like her. This is HER SONG.
Still Meow!! Funny near end during Chorus, "Born to be Wilde" and a crowd of them setting in subway,half asleep as if just off road from long tour like Bon Jovi.lol..
