Background
"Desire" was released on 4 June 1985. Meier's friend, Swiss TV station owner Paul Grau, had suggested that the video should be shot in Havana in Cuba to match the song's Latin sound, and the video, which included three orchestras and around 150 dancers, was filmed there in May 1985.
In popular media
The song was later used in the Miami Vice episode "Killshot" in 1986, and in the film Dutch in 1991.[2]
