This is just a instrumental that Eddie came up. They might have thought the next song "Jump" needed a intro so this fitted perfectly. Calling it "1984" like the album title, it does sound very 80\'s. Which was common at the time thanks to synth pop songs being played in popular music. If i read right Thomas Dolby whose hit "She Blinded Me with Science" helped Eddie with setting up the keyboards. Eddie returned the favor helping Thomas out on a album in 1992!
