"Word Up!" hit radio airwaves in mid-1986 and instantly became one of the biggest pop songs of the year. Critically acclaimed with large amounts of club and radio airtime, the resulting album Word Up! turned Cameo into superstars.

You are a far more decent person than me.

I would not have been able to keep the phrase "GIANT RED CODPIECE!" out of the title. In an imitative industry, it is notable that no other band ever picked up on the codpiece.

Wow. Jethro Tull blazed a lot of paths.

And yet Cameo didn't nick the flute idea from them. A good flute solo would have given Cameo a second single.
