Season 7 Episode 353: P00pin

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 353, where it dives into Kim Wilde’s breakout 1981 hit “Kids in America,” the new wave anthem that launched one of the most successful careers of any British female solo artist of the 1980s. We explore how the song was written by her father Marty Wilde and brother Ricky Wilde, the synth-pop influences behind its iconic sound, and the fascination with American youth culture that inspired its lyrics. Along the way, we look at Wilde’s remarkable chart success, her comparisons to Blondie’s Debbie Harry, and the lasting legacy of a song that continues to resonate more than four decades later.
