“Obesssion” was a pop song released in 1983 by a group called Animotion. You can read more about this song here, on Wikipedia.
I know if you’re Gen X, you probably have heard this one before – but as I mention on the blog’s “About” page, you’ve probably forgotten a lot of of good songs from the 1980s.
I don’t remember this group having any other big hits during the 80s, which is why I’ve put them under the “One Hit Wonders” tag.
You can listen to this song in the embedded video below; if the song is ever removed (on the particular You Tube account), please visit You Tube’s home page and search for the band’s / singer’s name and song title to perhaps find a copy of it..

(also available here (extended version, with long guitar solo on You Tube, audio only):

There is a longer and shorter (radio edit) versions of this song.
The version of the song I own – the radio edit, which I feel is the best version – is 4 minutes, 44 seconds long.
(I think I got my version of this song off a “greatest hits of the 1980s” cd years ago.)
You can purchase a digital copy of this single (current price: $1.29) by clicking this link below – all of the singles of “Obsession” I see available right now on Amazon’s site (for the associate’s program) last for 5 minutes and some odd seconds, meaning, I assume these may be the album versions, with a long guitar solo towards the end:
