In the summer of 1987, I got to dance to "Seven Wonders" at a nightclub in the Virgin Islands. I was on a merchant marine training cruise the whole summer, and even got to hear the last half of the song on the radio in Rio de Janeiro. Luckily, they were still playing the video on MTV when I returned home in late August -- I almost missed the whole thing! And since we STILL don't have a FM video collection, I might never have seen it.
As for song covers, I never heard FM music, but I did hear a steel drum band play an awesome version of The Thomspson Twins' "Lies". "LIES, LIES, LIES ... YEAH!" I think this was in Grenada, but it could have been in Trinidad. On the cruise I turned 18, which is the legal Caribbean drinking age. And boy, did I make use of it before I had to return to the States for 3 more "dry" years.
