Everything to love and nothing disappoints in this song. Thank you guys for writing and performing this. A side note, I prefer the version of the video with the real band and not the film version. I always did get a hoot watching John do that one legged hop thing and you can see the band is having a good time.

Speaking of that overseas military life, I had actually completely forgotten about this song, and not long ago, I heard it playing on a Korean radio station while alone and riding a bus through the local city one night. I couldn't remember the name of the song or the band, but I knew I had to find out. I have ended up getting blasted from the past by a lot of great, somewhat obscure American songs just like that, while riding buses in Korea.

What a song so underrated the piano is just beautiful

I saw these guys perform live in Chicago shortly after the movie came out. They put on one helluva show and while the movie resonates with me, the music they created is some of the best rock around. They made Eddie Wilson live!

My uncle loved this song & soundtrack (as did I). He passed away suddenly; this coming Saturday will be 6 yrs since he’s been gone. This song will always remind me of him. He is missed so much every day!

Truly one of the most underrated bands of it era they had the sounds of the 50s an 60 s all in one and was good wish they could have come further our music today would be much better than what it has become.

Thanks John for writing this. Still my favourite after all these years. The movie was awesome also.
