I was Class of ‘83 also and was there for Disneyland Grad Nite. Not only did Greg play there, but so did The Dazz Band and Berlin. We’re lucky to be 80’s peeps, even if it means we’re getting old now 😁

[@bobpierce115]

@@jennycraigadventures3314 I'm retro-jealous now! Can't even IMAGINE a Grad Nite at Disneyland now---at all. It would be at least a few hundred, even with discounts the school could get. Do you remember what the cost was off hand, or roughly? If you don't it's okay; it was a long time ago.

I knew Greg “back in the day”…he played at a lot of the small venues in San Francisco, where I lived. He was working at a record store in Berkeley when I first met him (close to my Mom’s work) and he told me he was starting a new band with some of the guys he worked with. It was pretty cool to see how successful he became, he had an especially loyal fan base in the Bay Area. This song really started it all for him!

When I was a kid back in the 80’s I thought this was Billy Idol lol😂

[@shyman99]

Well, it didn't help that they once again selected the wrong video to a song because someone repeated segments endlessly in this version. Jay said it was repetitive and he's right because he chose the wrong video! This ended up being twice as long as the actual original recording. They need to have an expert like myself to assist them with selecting the appropriate video.

[@gotrhythm1]

My band covered this song in the mid 80's. I was the drummer, so I can relate with Amber. It was a fun song to perform, it always filled the dance floor!

[@furryfriendsfairydust5595]

"Stuck in my head all day" is exactly what made this song's popularity.

[@alanbrown3963]

My favorite Greg Kihn Bank tune. Catchy, melancholy riff, great lyrics and a smooth groove. I can't help but sing along every time I hear this one. Thanks for checking it out, I knew you would eventually find this classic!!!!

[@jamesd5118]

Great song! You should try Donnie Iris's "Ah Leah" from the same era.

[@LadyDragonborn]

YES!!

[@mikeellis3240]

Or On The Loose by Saga. They had another popular song on MTV (in the good ol’ days when it actually aired great stuff) but I can’t remember the name

[@tiernet]

Or Twilight Zone (When the bullet hits the bone) by Golden Earring, I think of these songs together for some reason.

When I was a high school freshman, we moved away from Marin County, CA and Greg Kihn bought our house. I was so star-struck. He was SO big at that time--his songs were always on the radio.

[@zaenkmus]

Wow! Just curious if he had a lot of "cold hard cash" from his albums and singles, I never heard more than about 3 songs of his on the radio in Vancouver - he talked about going close to bankrupt by the late 80's from the rock lifestyle.

[@dansmedstadmedia]

The Greg Khin band played at my high school, as did Huey Lewis and the News, and Journey with original band members Neal Schon and Gregg Rolie. Oh those were the days...Monte Vista High School in Danville, CA!

[@kbusby4824]

Lucky you!

[@jesselobo3213]

Greg Kihn even sang the Patsy Cline classic, "I fall to Pieces". It was weird and I loved it. His album "Khinspiracy" is one of my all-time favorite albums.

[@DougLofstrom]

This song came out in '81. The band's first hit. I heard it for the first time on American Bandstand and it's one of those songs that you like the first time you hear it. I got to see them at a great small club in '83 called the Catalyst in Santa Cruz right after the album Kihnspiracy came out. It's the album with Jeopardy on it.

[@machtshnel]

LOl I remember that show what a night at the Catalyst. Instead of driving home my girl friend and i went and spent the rest of the night at the beach and watched the sun rise in front of the boardwalk

[@gbdewbery]

Amber, it is so good to see you having so much fun. I hope you both continue to enjoy the music from the "good old days".

[@mikec3853]

The song from Wednesday "Goo Goo Muck" is by The Cramps. They have a bunch of fun songs that are characterized as psychobilly-50's and 60's rock and roll with the energy of punk and a little bit of surf music thrown in as well. Their guitarist Poison Ivy is one of the great rock guitarists laying down some amazing riffs. "Saddle Up A Buzz Buzz", Bikini Girls With Machine Guns", "Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?" are just a few of their songs.

[@kellahella5286]

Back when this came out in the 80s. A lot of people associated with driving their muscle cars on the highway very fast. They Don't Ride Like That Anymore!

I loved the Greg Kihn Band so much in the 70s. They had no bad songs and I got all of their albums. Their record label had the slogan "The most fun you can have with your clothes on". So true! Killer drummer (who sang lead on some songs) and phenomenal lead guitarist - you will like some of their romantic songs, Understander or Remember - still on my playlists 45 years later. Timeless stuff.

I’m a bit late to the news of Greg’s passing…but that just makes it so much worse!😫😫 and I’m 19 years old!! It’s not like I’m 50 years old and had a chance to see them play live or anything🤷🏼‍♂️😔. Gosh! I wish I could have though! This is actually GOOD MUSIC!! I don’t care WHAT anyone says! It’s more like the song says: “they don’t write ‘em like that anymore” No. They most certainly DO NOT Write them like that anymore, and that’s a shame🫤😔 RIP Mr. Greg Kihn.

[@thegingergyrl455]

This is such a nostalgia song. Part of the atmosphere type of song especially when it came out. Love it!

[@TZ61]

It was very repetitive because that was a modern-day upload which simply looped another verse and chorus onto the approximately 3-minute song. This song works perfectly at 2:51 or whatever the 'full length' of the song was on my album. Another great pop song from around the time that will stay stuck in your head is 'Echo Beach' by Martha and the Muffins.

[@carolmartin4413]

[@correctlyrics]

There is no short or full version to this song. The original song is only 2:50. This version is simply the song 2 times. Ppl who love this song are left unsatisfied with only 2:50. That's why this double version was created.

[@DJHolte]

Yeah, it's really weird that they edited together a longer version by basically just repeating the whole thing. Was a bit too much, imo.

[@hoboroadie4623]

At the live shows this song might get the long groove like that. Mighty Rock for the Peasants. We used to like dancing, and there was a local trend in miniskirt fashion at the Greg Kihn shows. Kinda didn't want to walk away from all that.

[@T-ShirtMagic]

Long time fan of this band and this song - The Best Small Venue *LIVE BAND* in the 80s. I was a 20 year-old amateur drummer when this song released; replaced my metronome with a Greg Kihn cassette.

[@Shrykespeare]

Kind of a shame that this band wasn't bigger. They did have two huge hits, and you've done both of them. If I had to name a third (minor) hit of theirs it would be "Lucky" (their only other Top 40 song). It's a good one, though.

Another Great song! Thanks for this review. 😊 This song give me great joy as it looks like it does with you as well. ( I think the song was played through twice for some reason ). Edit; Jay where you started to look bored halfway through, it's because who ever uploaded the song, took the song, cut off the ending and duplicated the song ( so it sounds repetitive, the actual radio one isn't ), and kept the ending at the very end, of course.

[@jpmnewyork]

Yes, they edited it to play through twice. But to be fair, this is one of those songs that always seemed to end too soon, so whoever did it was probably trying to make it last!

[@VicMikesvideodiary]

@@jpmnewyork You make 2 great points. Personally I would rather have a longer version where the parts play different, but you're right, I always wished this song had more and kept going every time I've heard it in the past.

Lol Jay, it won't be stuck in your head the rest of today, it will be stuck in your head for the rest of your life, laugh. And I love Amber just killing it with the chair dancing and acting out the attitude of the song just perfectly. It's notoriously repetitive but it's just such a fun pop song and one of the great dance songs to dance to in clubs and at parties.

[@hoboroadie4623]

Sort of blew my mind I was up by Roseburg Oregon in 1979 or 80, taking a break from butchering the Old-Growth and describing how I used to get into shows without having my I.D. checked by gripping the big speaker boxes and carrying them in (also free beer), when Remember came out of the actual radio. That was a big old ego boost for me and the crew all admitted that it almost sounded like Rock Music. Hitch-hiked back south and got back into that business for a couple years more...
