About The Song

Remember the days of big hair, neon lights, and infectious pop melodies? Modern Talking’s Sexy Sexy Lover, a 1987 hit from their album Alone, takes us back to that vibrant era of synth-pop music. This song, with its catchy beat and playful lyrics, is a quintessential example of the genre that dominated the airwaves in the late 80s.

Imagine yourself transported to a time of flamboyant music videos and dancefloors packed with energy. Sexy Sexy Lover opens with a familiar synth line, instantly setting the stage for a lighthearted and danceable track. The lyrics, delivered by Thomas Anders in his signature smooth vocals, paint a picture of longing and desire. The narrator, presumably a man pining for his lover, declares: “Oh, I’m looking on the same old star / I’ll be there for you – but you’re so far.”

Despite the romantic theme, the song maintains a playful tone. Lines like “My sexy little lover, swear there is no other” have a charm that’s almost childlike, reflecting the innocence and excitement often associated with young love. The repetition of “Sexy, sexy lover” throughout the song adds a touch of humor, further reinforcing the lighthearted mood.

Modern Talking’s signature Europop sound is on full display in Sexy Sexy Lover. The pulsing bassline and rhythmic synths perfectly complement the catchy melody, creating a sonic landscape that’s both nostalgic and undeniably catchy. The song also features a distinctive bridge with layered vocals and a slight shift in tempo, offering a brief moment of respite before diving back into the infectious dance beat.
