While watching "That '90s Show" this morning, I thought briefly, "Oh, the title of this episode is 'Kids In America.' I wonder if they'll play Kim Wilde's version."
Then, I immediately thought, "No, as catchy as that version is, it was a 1982 hit, and this show is set in 1995, so if they use the song, it'll be..."
...Yep. The version by The Muffs, released in 1995.
Although I like Wilde's version best, I can't fault a show for wanting to use a still good version of the tune that's appropriate for the era.
