@zcarenow I guess it depends on how complicated the drum beat and vocal parts are. Playing the drums already involves some multi-tasking, adding a vocal part bumps it up a notch. This tune is fairly simple but it still rocks. LOL
The video is from 1980, but the song was released in 1979. First time I heard this was at Jed's (a recording of it) in New Orleans in Uptown. Awesome song!
After all these years I just realized that the drummer is playing left handed on a right hand kit...AND SINGING!

2:39 - 2:42 It's Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler sliding down a banister.

On stage, it doesn't work to have the drummer sing lead, but it can work in a video.

Romantics took this to no. 49. A remake by Micheal Morales went to no. 28 in late '89.

I love this song because the Drummer is the singer which is quite unusual. That and its a top classic.

this song is very similiar to the Monkees song A Little Bit Me a Little You, the organ part sounds like the Dave Clark 5
