Can you stop the cavalry?

Probably not.  War is notoriously difficult that way.  But you could wait thirty years and then have many cameos in an IKEA advert with a new version of your other big hit:

That's the way to do it: write something that gets played every single Christmas while keeping your other hit to rerelease just when 80s nostalgia is at its most commercial.  I have bought this single by the way, it's available on itunes.  It has shouts-out to various kitchen appliances at the end.  I quite like that.

Here's another great song, off of The Sounds' album Dying to Say This to You, the same one as has Tony the Beat (Push It), but not exactly current as it was released in 2006.
