I hear the drum similarities, but the drums aside I'd still say it feels/sounds more 
like Bay City Rollers' Saturday Night http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utt7i8ugnA8&feature=related
Tension http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWyUByNNiLY
My Sharona http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVdnqEyToqg
but then, i am biased towards the 1st two.

While on Soft Cell, "It's a Mug's Game" is also very good, something to have ringing around your head as you're slumped in some doorway sobering up in the morning. 
One of THEE WORST songs ever, to my ears, is this horrid abuse of 
soundwaves by Dire Straits, Money for Nothing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAD6Obi7Cag

Every about "Footloose" was utter, utter, utter CRAP, ...... BUT...

I like "My Sharona" (and so does Killing Joke -- listen to "Tension" why don'tcha?)

I like Yes (and so does Killing Joke, although admittedly "Owner of Lonely Heart" wasn't their finest hour)

"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell is fucking brilliant, as is "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dobly (as is much of the rest of the album that spawned it).

Remember: Pop music is not the enemy. BAD pop music is the enemy.
