Lyrics:
And we danced like a wave on the ocean, romanced
We were liars in love and we danced
Swept away for a moment by chance
And we danced, danced

My entire life has been fueled off the energy from music like this.

[@MarkYoshimotoNemcoff]

Went to high school in the Philly area when these guys were just a hugely popular local band. WMMR and WYSP played the crap out of their locally released EP and their Philly fan base was huge. Not long after they got signed to their major label record deal, they had a contest where the high school who made the most hand-written index cards with some contest motto on it and delivered them to the radio station won a free Hooters concert at your school. Every one in my school chipped in and our high school won. That night they played in our gym was probably one of my best high school memories ever. We all knew their songs by heart because of the support of local radio back in those days.

Born in the sixties, a teen in the eighties, and grateful to have known and loved the best musical decade of all time. Music that made you feel happy (and also music that you could relate to when you weren't so happy). I feel bad for the kids today that don't know ( and haven't been brought up on )80's rock. There was a real heart and soul to that decade that I don't believe will ever be captured in any future decade. But, at least we had it, albeit for a short time.

@@derekkess5988 Oh, I could never pick a favorite! We were spoilt for choice in the eighties. But, possibly, one of the best songs with a performance video for it (clips of the singer and band performing onstage, pieced together) a song that spoke to so many people, was Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. And then the animated video for Take On Me by the band Aha . Born To Run was the seventies, but the video was the eighties, if I remember correctly, but we are so lucky to have KZbin to be able to watch and hear the wide range of so many different musical styles that the eighties brought us.

They only had a couple of hits but they were great songs! I never get tired of hearing them. Another band from Philly!

We were young and invincible. We never thought the last time we danced to this song would be the last time we saw some of our friends.

That line, "she could dance all night, shake the paint off the wall" described me to a T in the 80s - a fun-loving 20-something who just loved to dance - nothing to say, simply swept away with emotion, having fun all night dancing! I love this song, it brings me back to a time when nothing mattered more than having an amazingly fun night dancing! 😄

I always loved this song. Hard to believe it only reached #21 on the charts in October of 1985.

[@ladyjedi21]

But is an iconic 80's song. Everybody remembers it.

[@erikschmitt7227]

ladyjedi21 Rob Hyman, Hooters keyboard player, wrote 'Time After Time' (Cyndi Lauper) and made LOADS of dosh off of it. The Hooters also played on Patty Smyth's album and co-wrote the title track 'Never Enough', which is also a great song.

[@garyschneider8700]

Baji Kimran The music scene in the 80's was brutal and divided. It was the Rise of AC/DC, Metal. The birth of hip-hop also caught on big in 1985 with RunDMC going mainstream. Some great artist got kinda lost in the shuffle.

Baji Kimran is it 30 years already? I thought maybe late 80s, but yea 30 years wow

I had this song stuck in my head, nothing to go on except for the words “and we danced,” because I had no idea who sang it, and I lucked out with this first link. I’m smiling so gently right now. I don’t know what brought me the memory of this song; I’m simply glad it did.

[@PATRICKoxoEthafulm]

I just realized how creative it is that they snuck their friends into the drive-in movie theater by putting them in the trunk and then the movie is return of the zombies but it’s the Hooters back from “the dead” with some new music. It’s such an amazing sardonic way of saying they’re back With new music. The power pop genre just had an amazing way of saying things. I’m not even from this time period I just fully appreciate it
