The American country music star, Sylvia, released a cover of the song in June 1985, which reached No.9 on the U.S. Country Chart and No.8 on the Canadian Country Chart.
In the video, we see Shaky singing in the studio, and also scenes of a Mother who is left at home alone when her husband and daughter go off to work and her son goes to school. She picks up a letter delivered by the postman which contains two tickets for a Shaky concert. Sadly, they're for her daughter and her boyfriend, and the mother can only dream of going to the concert as she dances on the kitchen table to the music. In the final scene, we see her husband and son watching Shaky on the TV. The husband, who is not a fan, turns it off in disgust and reads his newspaper, leaving his poor son looking very fed-up!
