Treat Her Right - I Think She Likes Me

Watch the official music video for "I Think She Likes Me" by Treat Her Right
Listen to Treat Her Right: TreatHerRight....
Lyrics:
I walked into a strange cafe
No one there's ever heard my name
I go to the bar, have a seat
Talk to that woman sittin next to me
She'll ask me in a voice so low
She ask me if I come in here alone
She ask me nicely, 'Can I buy you a drink?'
You know I think she likes me that's what I think
I think she likes me that's what I think
She listens to every word I say
I look at her, she don't look away
I tell her that I play for treat her right
She ask me if I'm gonna play tonight
She cross her legs, do no harm
She lets her finger run on down my arm
I asked her nicely, 'can I buy YOU a drink?'
You know I think she likes me that's what I think
I think she likes me that's what I think
Some guy comes over, what does he think?
Intruding on our private thing
Man here's looking quite upset
Wavin around with his gun like that
She told me things about her life
She never told me she was someone's wife
Man with the gun says, 'why'd you buy her a drink?'
I said, 'I think she likes me. That's what I think.'
I think she likes me that's what I think
I think she likes me that's what I think
I think she likes me that's what I think
I, I, I think she likes me...

Rip : Billy Conway (1955/1956 - December 19 2021) Founding member & drummer

[@deenababie]

Sad :(

[@E.C.2]

Requiescat in Pace.

[@SwedeProof]

So very, very sad. My boyfriend, also a gifted, well-known drummer, died two years ago. My heart is broken.

[@Dahstin]

We all die.

[@markmccammon266]

This song didn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserved. Music is complex and haunting. Story is also underrated.

[@miahconnell23]

WFNX gave it a good bit of rotation, that’s where I first heard it back in the day. (WFNX also gave me my first exposure to the Pixies, they were onto a great band right from the outset ❤️)

[@E.C.2]

There's no motivation to make music nowadays. .75 cents for 50 uploads compared to $1 per record pre-Napster.

[@michaelsattely8199]

I think it got in the top 15 on the Billboard chart.

[@andrewwhite1934]

Sandman was utterly brilliant

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

"I look at her, she doesn't look away" Those were the days, rem them well.

[@Global00Vintage]

Truly. He was.

[@laserstrike969]

The year was 1987. I was invited by my friend to crash at her apartment in Salem, MA after a night of imbibery, feasting and debauchery at local bars Our relationship was totally platonic as she already had a boyfriend. As I was trying to drift off to sleep on her living room couch in a drunken stupor, this video came on MTV. It was the first and only time I saw them play this video. I have seen this band several times at bars all over the North Shore of Boston, and they always rocked it. The local Boston music scene in the 1980's was LIT as the kids would say today. Treat Her Right will always be remembered as a truly classic local band of the 1980s. BTW, that friend from the 80's is now my wife, and has been for the last 32 years. Rock on!

[@stephenzanichkowsky4434]

"I told her I played for Treat Her Right" is magnificent!!

[@eh3253]

Sandman was a great storyteller. I often wonder what kind of music he would make if he were still with us.

[@MichaelPaumgardhen]

Well...now you know...

[@MobiusBandwidth]

great music.

[@clintonr60]

Mark Sandman.. need I say more 😎

[@davidchavers5881]

All 3 THR albums are terrific! Long live the memory of Mark Sandman!

[@whispersignal1]

RIP Billy Conway 😢

[@Global00Vintage]

Look how young. We’ve all gotten old, Mark. Miss you, and now Billy, too.

[@jurdl222]

These guys are what I aspire to be someday. They groove together so incredibly well, it's amazing how much Treat Her Right was able to achieve with their minimalistic approach.

[@SwedeProof]

Keep aspiring! It'll be very cool having your music uploaded to YT. Me: "Oh, that's the kid who was inspired by Treat Her Right!"

[@johngibney2811]

saw thr years ago. very great. i played harmonica those days and the thr man gave me very valuable advice.

[@GIBKEL]

Morphine.....who? I kid. Got both of Treats Her Right’s first Lp’s at the record store I was working-if you could call it that. It Came thundering across the speakers. Shaped a lot of my musical sensibilities. Love these record to this day. I sold the hell out them. Pick the right person, needle touches down and ka-Ching! Easy record sale. Miss those days, those shops and those records. Hell yeah I’m nostalgic....it was magical back then and I thought it would never end. Now some stranger, depending on whether they’ll write about it, or an independent radio station will play it. It’s all scattershot and I don’t even know what I’m missing. But I know I’m missing.

[@SwedeProof]

I hear ya!!!;

[@KyOlsen]

Same!

[@MichaelPaumgardhen]

Hell yeah.

[@davisbliss2739]

Thursday nights at The Plough & Stars, Cambridge MA...perfect.

[@tomford3018]

Love it dude I was there more than twice

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Hell yeah

[@TOMDELHI]

I met Jim "the harmonica player" in Cincinnati Nice guy , Great band

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

A top-notch artist

[@ronjamroz6432]

Love Mark in all he has done, but that harp player is really in the groove!

[@ckurtis4236]

Jim Fitting. Brilliant, I wrote them back when this came out… I was a harp player in hs. He wrote back, I remember being blown away by that

[@fafsa89]

@@ckurtis4236 A friend of mine named John Huss called Jim Fitting up and got him to play on a song of his. I was amazed because he was/is a total indie artist and not a huge mainstream star or anything. I fail to remember the name of the song, but I'll find out when I talk to him. Here is one of John Huss's tunes from the 90's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a33XmolpraiBkLM

[@googlechicken]

Saw these guys at a WBCN free lunch concert in Boston at a cub called Narcissis and was absolutely blown away just amazing live I’ve been a fan ever since

[@TheLaserstrike969]

I saw these guys at the Blackburn Tavern in Gloucester, MA in the summer of 87, and they kicked ass! The most meanigful time I heard them though was in the spring of 1987. I was crashing on the couch of my future wife after a night of hard partying in Salem, MA. I fell asleep on her couch watching this EXACT video on MTV. At the time I never knew we would go from being just friends to actually marrying her, and we have been happily married for over 32 years. Who would have known? Life is really a mystery. (Y)

[@pauloftarsus3843]

I never heard a one note guitar line sound so good. It's all in the context and feel of the song. Awesome.

[@brigittmy213]

I like hearing him signing, he was so talented 💓, Rip sandman

[@michaelbruns449]

Dazzling, ominous and provocative, this is definitely one of the most underrated and underappreciated songs ever made, with forever relevant and relatable lyrics and they're from the boston area, like me. >>>>>>>>>>> 0:52

[@danniflood812]

Where the hell did they go

[@marcusfoto]

They got back together around 2010ish for some local shows. Mark Sandman tragically had a heart attack on stage in Italy in 1999 😢

[@E.C.2]

@@danniflood812 They were a 2nd tier back in the day. We were spoiled didn't know what we had,they were awesome!

[@jameswhitney2450]

This song slays me every time I listen to it (and that's been a lot). So sorry to know that Mark's gone - a true musical talent.

[@Global00Vintage]

Can’t take my eyes off Mark.

[@michaelmullaney8903]

this video was filmed at The Rat in Boston I use to go there a lot. I remember that THR played at Jacks in Cambridge the night that the fire happened and thay lost there equipment in the fire.

[@stephenzanichkowsky4434]

Loved the Rat. Saw the Cars, the Atlantics, Willie Loco, the Rings... What a shithole!!

[@flokihelga2971]

Morphine is a whole different vibe 🤟🎶

[@jay54929]

Coolness personified

[@josephgriffin2388]

Had this album on vinyl, when it came out in 1987.

[@brendantreanor2428]

what a groove

[@marcwildeman8475]

Had the pleasure of seeing him inTRH and Morphine!!

[@ihatetobethatguybut....]

Wow, that was amazing. RIP Sand Man.

[@dangiven13]

RIP Billy Conway

[@nathanritzo2228]

I loved this band. I wish Mark was still alive and making great music. Favorite Part: 3:07

[@michaelbruns449]

Definitely.

[@stevejulian]

One of the greatest finds was Treat Her Right. Good sound, great lyrics.

[@truckraulet]

Used to see them at the Plough and Stars in Cambridge every time I could. Tiny place, 5 ft from the band and they were just a ton of fun to see. Talked to Sandman more than once. Sad that they couldn’t really catch on with a harmonica player (Jim was great)-Morphine did have success, but with sax players.

[@stephenzanichkowsky4434]

Morphine was great. Different band than THR. The Plough was some place!!

[@mb1284]

GREAT SONG. ITS STILL ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES, GOOD WORKING SONG, ITS RELAXING MUSIC.

[@diegoreynaldo9853]

Una banda única! necesitan el reconocimiento que se merecen!

[@hardfolk]

Están bien como están, joyas subterráneas

[@angdav5968]

This is a cool jazz,blues song

[@guydark2061]

Treat Her Right and Morphine both have that noir quality. I hear the music and think of Elmore Leonard's novels.

[@hardfolk]

I love that man

[@KWMC512]

These came up to Burlington Vt so much I thought they were from there. Thank you for the upload, I never thought I'd hear this again.

[@SwedeProof]

@Pre-War -- "I think I like" the way you write -- well said. Fortunately, this fab album is still among my treasured collection. This is such a soulful, sexy song, and the harp playing is phenomenal.

[@CerealBoomer]

Love this song🎷🎺🎸

[@kateconway-hickman5945]

Tak skal du have! 💕 ✨️

[@nyauni]

This is the first time I watch this video... I always thought he was gonna get the woman.

[@orchardsforever]

I saw the band perform this at The Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. They were opening for a new forgotten band called Scruffy the Cat.

[@wichochickenshit1984]

Excelente blues!!

[@SwedeProof]

Ja!

[@negativeone-1]

3:02 💙

[@TheCenteroftheUniverse]

To all the guys who know they've been the singer, the ones who just never GAF if she had a boyfriend, because if she gave you half a chance she wasn't going to think about anyone but YOU for some indeterminate period of time once she wakes after you leave her sleeping, naked and exhausted among the rumpled bedclothes, I salute you. And to the women with an eye for the diamond in the rough and the strength to stand the strain, I doff my chapeau, bow, and humbly offer my compliments, as well as my services. "Treat Her Right" is the Minimum standard. I'd name my band "She Comes First". Because, why wouldn't you put your best foot forward?

[@MichaelPaumgardhen]

'nuff said.

[@JG4EVER]

Because one of my feet are worth two of hers.

[@RomyArena]

Life was simpler back then...

[@danniflood812]

Where was this recorded

[@E.C.2]

80's + 90's second tier bands are 1,000 x better than popular 21st bands. Mark Sandman looks like Dice Clay's little brother.

[@Iggins420]

:06 Your own, personal, jesus.... It's almost as if the insides are on the outsides... that's fine, treate er right

[@BimskaMusic]

Yes the music was better back then....

[@tonewald3309]

Yes, it sure was.

[@stormbringercoming8105]

Did Sandman ever make bad music?

[@iamthewalrus3222]

Anyone knows the chords?

[@dagobaker]

82 subs?... cmon peeps

[@ScottRicketts]

Mark Fucking Sandman.

[@saltshaker7777]

Who blowing harp?

[@elgb1622]

Jim Fitting

[@blackbird5634]

She cut her ties and showed me the knife How did I know she was another man's wife? Packed my bags and the kitchen sink I said I think she likes me that's what I think.

[@stephenzanichkowsky4434]

Not unlike "Thursday" which is crazy good!!

[@kz75081]

Street druggie.Please don't do drugs.

[@JG4EVER]

Without street drugs this music doesn’t exist, mind yo business
