The Smithereens? I always thought they were one of the great power pop bands of the 80s, which was a golden age in many ways for catchy melodic rock and roll that sounded like The Beatles and Cheap Trick had a baby. I once saw them play to 35 people in Greenville, SC supporting their greatest hits album. They had just played the same town and the same club three months before and, mysteriously to all concerned, were booked there again. In spite of the sparse crowd, they played their hearts out. They opened with a blistering version of this song - my favorite from them hands down
