hardwood floor Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 What i like about you - Romantics you can make a case that the Romantics were a one-hit wonder, but you have the wrong song they had one song in the top 30 and it reached No. 2 but it wasn't What I Like about You, it was Talking in your Sleep One in a Million hit No. 37 and What I Like about You No. 41 i always thought When I Look in your Eyes was the best track on their first record Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck Turner Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 LOVED this song when I was a kid... how 'bout "heartbeat (it's a love beat)" by the deFranco Family? Ah yes, this song is mentioned in the Sunken Treasure DVD . . . And, I played in this group as a teenager end of 77, 78 and beyond . . . Tony Defranco was twelve when they recorded the first record . . . (he's 5 months younger than me) The "wrecking crew" played on this - Larry Carlton, Hal Blaine, Max Bennet . . . it used harpsichord . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
