Continuing my list of fifty Canadian songs I love from the past fifty years, how could I kick off the '80s and not go for some pulpy lesbian new wave?

Omg I love this song! I discovered it via a remix that was on the Queer as Folk (US) soundtrack but I prefer this version. The part with the heel click sound effect *chef's kiss*

Oh man, I'd forgotten about that remix! I love this original version though, and the production details like the heel click sound effect and the little "Stella!" in the background after the mention of catcalls from teenage Brandos are a big reason why.
