All Sports Band "Opposites Do Attract"

[MadameLil]

Saw a little on them in 16 Magazine 30 years ago. "Geez - another Village People", I thought. Thanks for finally giving me a chance to hear how they sounded.

This track sounds more like Bon Jovi than the VPs - or Styx, for that matter.

[MegaJimbob28]

They just don't write them like they used to---one of my fave tunes from the early 80's. great harmony, great sounding song. should have been a top 40 hit.

[rockerjulie]

This is a really good song. One of the best 80's songs of all time in my opinion.

[heine71]

This group could have had their own Saturday morning cartoon/live action TV series similar to the 1981-1982 Kid Super Power Hour with Shazam Saturday morning cartoon/live action TV series

[heine71]

Would you hear this song at Hooters or Tilted Kilt or Twin Peaks?

[heine71]

Was this a Village People knockoff or not?

[heine71]

Made #78 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart.

[GregoryOrme]

Thank you for posting this. I am also looking for "I’m Your Superman."

[MegaJimbob28]

WAY OVERLOOKED BAND FROM THE EARLY 80'S. THESE GUYS ACTUALLY GOT A SLOT ON AMERICAN BANDSTAND PERFORMING 'THE JET SET'. MY FAVORITE TRACK BESIDES THIS ONE IS 'RUN AWAY'. THANX FOR POSTING THIS!! 80'S ROCK RULES!!!!!

[gpmasch]

can you possibly post "i'm your superman"

[swimcat84]

Same here! Literally 30 years I've searched for this song since hearing it a few times on the radio back in grade school. Like others, I've every now and then posted the lyrics hoping to get a hit (other than Paula Abdul and Jaris) but to no avail.

Thank you so much! I can die now.

[allsportsbandfan]

The ultimate 24K song!!!!!

[heine71]

@allsportsbandfan Why a 24K song?

[allsportsbandfan]

@heine71 Songs that were played on 99.5 rt's 24K Weekend program. I dedicated a blog to the songs being played and this song is THE 24K SONG!!!!! Only rt plays this tune and it's one of the rarest hits of my generation. It suddenly disappeared and it took me 20 yrs to hear this again! I always request this song even if I have a copy because I was want to keep this song alive and share it with others! I'll play this till the day I die! 24K Forever!!!!!!

[heine71]

@allsportsbandfan Too bad this song never made the Top 40 reaches or Casey Kasem would be surprised about this group on American Top 40.

[allsportsbandfan]

@heine71 Give me your email address and I'll see what I can do.

[heine71]

@allsportsbandfan Hope you got the PM.

[allsportsbandfan]

@allsportsbandfan Love this song to death!!!!!!

[ccope72]

I think they did a remake of Gary Puckett's "Young Girl" on this album of which I played on the air a few times. Thought it was a pretty good remake. Surprised it didn't go ahead and chart. If you can go ahead and post that song too. Haven't heard it in years.

[motelblues]

need "young girl"

[trickshottim]

Great song! Thanks for posting it. I remember The All Sports Band was on American Bandstand and sang Jet Set.......and I was hoping they would play this song.

[JayEm74]

Cy Sulak=Guitar GOD!

[gpmasch]

[nissivargas1]

[KurtmanJP]

My favorite song is Turn This Game Around.

[remylebeau1990]

[thesimsgeneration1]

It's not 24K Friday. it's now 24K Weekend

[Thebluenature]

Love these song back in the 80's and yup, heard it first on 99.5 RT. One of the great songs of the 80's... Thanks for posting it!!!

[thesimsgeneration1]

[ifuckinhateyou4]

[menchitty11]

I remember writing a review of All Sports Band's LP for the college newspaper and gave it a very good review, a 4.5 out of 5! I compaired them to Loverboy & The Knack. Was I the only one that actually liked them? I even played some of the tracks on the college FM radio station.

[peterson88keys]

Wow! I remember seeing this album back in the '80's and thought it was a joke or something - never gave it a chance. What a great song with a fantastic hook! Is the rest of the almum like this?

[recordjnky]

Expect to see this bands album on CD soon from Retrospect Records!

[rostoned]

Toto's Bobby Kimball is singing backing vocals on the chorus of this little know song! and you can tell!

ciao

[agfrane]

can you also send me? i havent heard this song in like 20 years. Sure glad (translation: extremely happy) you posted it.

[jtla823l2]

why did these guys get suckered in to the idea they needed a stupid gimmick. this is a great song. could've been a hit...

[roberts64153]

I've been looking for this song on Youtube for a few years ....I remember it from 1982-1983...My old HS days... I have the 45. They don't write songs like this anymore...

[IBeGodly]

God, Thank you and the heavens for finally posting this song! Ever since I've heard this on my dad's radio I can't get enough of it. I insanely looked all over the web but found none. And now, suddenly, someone posted the audio for it. Lord, m'dear, you just made me the happiest girl on this planet XD

[steeler1979]

I mastered this album onto cd, I can dub the cd for you if you want me to! Just let me know! (free of course) The whole album is great!

[IBeGodly]

SURE! :D I'll be very glad to get that xD

[The096757]

@IBeGodly

you have to listen to " jangle radio, power pop 80s" on live365 to hear these kinds of songs.

[atoz0714]

@IBeGodly nice dig ....

[heine71]

@IBeGodly No plans for the All Sports Band album to be re-released on CD...

[bujold]

Is tos available on cd? Download?

[steeler1979]

No but I got a fantastic remastered cd from the vinyl LP if you want me to send you one. I did it myself and I am an audio engineer, and I hate to brag, but it sounds perfect! Haha just let me know and I will send it to you!

[menchitty11]

May I obtain a copy as well? I'll reply to you privately.

[heine71]

@steeler1979 I wish this album was re-released on CD for real...

[ozrider67]

Can't tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to post this. I remember hearing it ONE time so many years ago and never forgot it.

[steeler1979]

Yeah it's really a catchy song. They don't write songs like this anymore
