I like it too, and I am pretty sure that I had that on cassette around the time that it came out... and surely the opening bit of the original recording.. was meant to be a kind of teaser.. which was done well.

Aldo Nova has aged pretty well (especially if that is his real mop of hair at 62 years old in the video that you linked - a lot of guys "grow" a kind of hair envy, including but not limited to yours truly), yet there is something about the energy and voice of his youth (even though surely it was dubbed over and even the studio version likely sounds better with that kind of a song)... .. but it is a nice (or might we suggest "fun") song.

Here's the earlier version with the suspenseful opening.
