U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 38
Backstory: This California based pop rock and power pop band was formed in 1978 by Tommy Heath and Jim Keller. Although they disbanded in 1984, they since reformed in 1996 and still remain together to this very day. They had their first hit single in 1980 with this song which just made the Top 40. But, the following year, they had a huge hit with, "867-5309, Jenny", which made it all the way to No. 4 in 1982. That huge hit was their only other hit single (though they had a single that Bubbled Under the Hot 100 at No. 101 called, "Which Man Are You?") Heath later became a computer analyst and software engineer and moved to Portland, Oregon.
The review: This is a pretty good and fairly upbeat power pop tune with nice guitar and vocal work. It's nothing outstanding, but I still really like the tune. So yes, this means that Tommy Tutone are, in fact, a two hit wonder, NOT an one hit wonder. Huh. LOL.
Final rating: 7/10
