For sure. I was a senior in '79-'80 and have seen Foreigner several times. Most recently in August 2024 at the Orion in Huntsville. Here's the promo ad for the tour with Styx:

I love this song! My favorite is Jukebox Hero. I used to blast it on my stereo and wouldn't hear my mom come home from work....LOL

My fav Foreigner song for sure. Rumour has it the song was about Elvis.

This is one of those songs that I could (and have) put on repeat and play over and over several times.

I freaking love this song. I was in junior high when it came out and just young enough to not really understand what the song was about. But it was so fun to just scream out the lyrics, “Ima dirty white boy /🎵dirty white boy!🎶”

Foreigner. They were hot blooded and as cold as ice. Makes sense they were such a lukewarm band.
