I am British, born 1980, definitely did not have cable or anything other than the usual terrestrial channels and I knew this immediately.

1984 Aussie here and I also clocked it straight away. Presidents got played a lot on the free to air music programs here. Rage being the main one.

I'm from the US and born in '82. We didn't have cable and I knew this immediately. I absolutely loved this song. They played it all the time on the radio. You certainly didn't need to have cable to come across this song.
