I could see how those two songs would get confused, but more importanly, look at that middle dancer. What are you kidding me, how is a man suppose to concentrate on the song when that is going on.
How is a man supposed to concentrate when the middle dancer is performing? That's how some of us females react when we're watching Marinos do this song. (Example: Back Porch Videos version)
@Lisica2008 That middle girl is fanrastic!!!!! I don't know a thing about her but she is magic!! no matter what they paid her it wasn't enough! I come back to watch her every once in awhile--she makes me feel great!
oh ok, in that case it's different. but I do know that their song was being used in commercials and they did not see a penny.
only their managers.they survived by touring constantly.so yeah I guess there a bit bitter, and wanne see some cash. the REASON is a bit lame, but i also heard that the deal with guitar hero wasnt much for them.
Love the go-go dancers..Boy, i was young lad when they first appeared over 40 years ago, but these babes aren't bad..The blonde has the moves down and is going to town, the one in the middle is good, but she does more jazzier/ballet style moves and the one on the far left, while cute, doesn't seem to quite have it..But boy they sure look good..This is so Bobby Fuller 4 sounding..Great stuff...
acdc126, you thought of John Cougar M. because he ripped this song's base line off. This Romantics song was recorded in 1979 and released in 1980. The John C.M song "R-O-C-K-In the USA" came out about four years later. Nothing against John, he ripped off the better band, he has good taste.
I used to play bass in a bar band back in the '80s. We covered this song from almost the first day we formed. A few years later, we're trying to work out "R.O.C.K. in the USA" (our lead guitarist sounded just like Mellencamp) and I'm plugging away at it and all of a sudden it hits me that I'm playing the Romantics. I stopped everyone else and showed them. We all had a good laugh at that.
Just saw them LIVE AND FREE at 31st St Park VA Beach last Wednesday evening. These guys are STILL cool as hell. Yeah, they gotta few years on 'em but they still know know how to ROCK!!
You can catch The Romantics right on the beach FREE and eats lots of seafood in the process at Hollywood Beach, Florida at the Clambake Festival on Fri. Sept. 28, 2007 at 9pm. The festival dates are Sept. 28, 29, 30, and other acts include Soul Asylum on Sat. night, plus New Orleans' own Porter Batiste Stoltz, and funky trombone brass band Bonerama. All FREE.
Thanks for posting this clip! I went to the Cleveland show, and the Romantics were great. I even got to meet Mike Skill and Wally Palmer. BTW, I like the go go dancers too, especially the blond on the right.

I can't like this band any more because they are waisting thier time suing a popular children's video game company. (Guitar Hero) Pathetic!

Why? are they suing cause guitar hero used the song THEY wrote without permission?( so no copyrights fee?) IF so:damn straight I would sue too.

Guitar Hero GOT permission to do a cover. But they say the cover is so good it violates their rights.

It seems like Jimmy Morino is not part of this composition.
He has a strange dialect (perhaps the 7 miles dialect..) which made this song unique. too bad.
