The instrument he was blowing into is called a hooter.(official name Melodica) it's harmonica and keyboard together.

[@cudwieser3952]

inspiration for their name iirc

[@icdogg2361]

It's a great way for a keyboard player to play harmonica parts for, say, Stevie Wonder songs, without having to learn the chromatic harmonica.

[@jamiesweitzer8469]

Hence, the band referred to as 'the Hooters"! I believe this was the tale end of the 1980s... if I remember correctly, late 1987, at the earliest.

[@ronnix23]

I know I've seen Billy Preston play that before.

[@lawrencedavis4406]

​@@jamiesweitzer8469it was from 1985...LOVE the Hooters, the pride of Philly, and are still rocking today...btw, the melodica was originally from Jamaica & they were highly influenced by & collecting records of reggae, ska, bluebeat, etc, so that's how they got into the instrument...combined with a mandolin, that's the sound...mixed with anthemic powerpop, totally unique & great songwriting...the Hooters were the backup band on Cyndi Lauper's huge album "She's So Unusual"!!

[@robertg7396]

Their other bit hit was "All you zombies". It's such a banger! 🤘😃

[@jlilley73]

Wow, I can't believe it's the same group! That's another big song in my mind, but I've never realized that it's the same band as this one. I always like to describe that song as "Jewish rock" 😆

Spring of ‘85. They played this on MTV every hour!

[@lawrencedavis4406]

They also opened the Philly show of Live Aid!!

[@scottromer8584]

Song was everywhere. A band covered this at Smuggler's Notch ski lodge in Vermont. Remembered dancing to this with this girl I met that had come up to ski with us, I ended up leaving the club and walking around hammered trying to find where I was staying. All the condo's looked the same, don't know how I got back. 80's were such a great time to grow up!

You're forgetting their indy debut, Amore, which included the original (and stronger, imho) "All You Zomies," and "Hangin' on a Heartbeat." Great, fun Philly band that opened our portion of Live Aid at the old JFK Stadium! BTW, that wind driven keyboard instrument is called a "Hooter."

[@topherwhite370]

I still have it in heavy rotation on my stereo. On vinyl, of course.

[@lawrencedavis4406]

​@@richarddefortuna2252and before they were the Hooters, they were an obscure late 70s band called Baby Grand, released 2 albums on Arista...

[@artis1969]

I was 13 when Amore came out. MMR and YSP wore that record out. Such a cool thing to watching them make the jump from regional act to nationally recognized.

[@ThomasTreece-mp8md]

Believe it or not, The Hooters were fairly underrated in the '80s, but my group of friends played them regularly in rotation with U2, the Eurythmics, Heart, the Outfield, Queen, Robert Palmer, Simple Minds, Til Tuesday, and the Cult (among others). I use this song as the text tone for my best friend from college. 💜☺ Thanks for the selection!

[@markdraine3571]

Meh, One hit wonder .Period. You must be from Philly.

[@owendickinson8669]

I wouldn't say one hit wonder, They also had the song Satillite that was a hit aswell.

[@dewdew34]

Crowded House and Tears for Fears and i'm down...

[@erikthompson619]

I hope it pleases you to hear, that in my native Sweden, the Hooters were, and remain, COLOSSAL. They are immensely, dare I say universally beloved. They famously played at the heavy metal orientated Sweden Rock Festival (30 000-40 000 people strong every year) a few years ago, initially feeling trepidation whether the promotos really hadn't made a mistake by booking the band. But they were happily surprised, bordering on shocked, to find tens of thousands of metalheads roaring and cheering and singing along to every word of every song from beginning to end. We LOVE our Hooters here in Sweden. Toto is another one of those bands that after a while seemed to dwindle home in the US, but are so big in Sweden that they put Journey and Van Halen to shame. And I mean that literally.

[@normankennith7919]

'satellite' was their best song!! check it out!

I really do miss 80's music, I just couldn't help but smile when I saw y'all were covering this song. All the memories just came flooding back..thank you so much for this. Y'all definitely made me smile today, have a wonderful rest of the day.

This video is special to me. One of my best friends(brother really) was in this,he was the dark haired kid in the jean jacket who helped put the guys in the trunk. I lost John a few years ago.

I will never not love the transition from the melodica to the electric guitar at 1:52. Ever. It’s the musical equivalent to hitting the Turbo button on a Colonial Viper takeoff from Battlestar Galactica. 🚀

CONGRATS Jay & Amber! You've stumbled onto the curly fry surprise in the box of tater tots known as the '80's...the Hooters! This is a BANGER that I have loved since I first heard it waaay back in the day! The instrument is a Hohner Melodica, known as a "Hooter" from which the band got their name.

The Hooters are an amazing band with a unique sound. Their hit album “Nervous Night” spawned several singles, including “And We Danced”, that featured on the Top 40 charts as well as had several videos that were in heavy rotation during MTV’s heyday. Several Hooters fun facts: came out of the rich Philly music scene, are still together to this day, are HUGE in Japan and their lead keyboardist and one of the founding members, Rob Hyman, wrote the song “Time After Time”, which Cyndi Lauper took and turned into a Number One hit single. Love The Hooters!

[@cinavs21]

I loved The Hooters in the 80's. Finally going to get a chance to see them live on a fun 80's tour with Rick Springfield and Tommy Tutone. There are even more great songs from them to react to.

A melodica, also known as the pianica, is a sort of harmonica-keyboard hybrid where you blow air into it through a mouthpiece and, like an organ, pressing a key opens a hole and creates a note by making the reeds inside vibrate.

Love these guys. Lived in Delaware as a kid in Newark where the university of DE is located. These guys played several weekends each month in the early 80's. Rob Hyman wrote Time after Time that became a Cyndi Lauper hit.

[@seanswinton6242]

Very lucky! I only saw them live 2 times. I met them at Live Aid in Philly before the album broke. I later saw them on their "Nervous Night" tour. We wanted them to play our university Spring Fling in '86. It was a toss up between them and The Outfield. Crowded House was also wanted, but The Outfield being foreign bands, were too expensive. Hooters weren't available. The Hooters were blasting from dorm rooms and Apts around campus. I have them permanently on my playlists because "Nervous Night" is flawless.

[@mav2knight]

This was one of my favorite dance songs in the mid 80s. Always loved it. So catchy and you can really move to this on the floor....

[@MRoyClark]

That instrument is called a melodica. It's an acoustic instrument that integrates elements of woodwinds and organs, not unlike the accordion or harmonica. It's mostly used in Dub Reggae, but in the 80s it was also used in lots of Pop/Rock and even Synthpop (New Order and Depeche Mode used it in a few songs each). In the intro, break, and outro it is played alongside a mandolin. The Hooters were great. They were one of many Heartland Rock acts (Springsteen, Petty, Seger, Hornsby, etc) on the radio during the 80s singing about nostalgia for decades gone by and teenage love. Fun fact, two years earlier, they were also the backing band on Cyndi Lauper's HUMONGOUS hit LP She's So Unusual, which featured the hits "Time After Time", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "Money Changes Everything", and "She-Bop" (plus her amazing cover of Prince's "When U Were Mine"). They didn't have a ton of huge hits, but their follow-up single to "And We Danced" (1985/US#21) was "Day by Day" (1986/US#18) and charted even higher, becoming their only US Top20 hit.

[@chrisa3102]

Hooters had another big hit off this album called DAY BY DAY!! That should be your next Hooters song!

[@jamesshreve8112]

Jay, you always speak about the fact that people/teens were dancing in the 80’s and yes we were. Many of our parents were teens in the 50’s and that’s what they did as well. The 50’s had a great influence on the 80’s as far as dress (Levi’s, penny loafer shoes, collars up) just look at John Cougar. In my state the drinking age has always been 21, so there were “under 21” clubs that we could go to and dance the night away.

[@moomoopuppy508]

That breath-powered keyboard/harmonica is called a MELODICA.

[@joannecunliffe8067]

One of my favourite tracks of all time! The Hooters are an awesome band. "Why can't we have music like this any more?" Exactly. If anybody from a music company watches reaction videos, you should be listening to comments like this. That's why there are far more sales of historic music than up-to-date tracks. People want to listen to decent music in which the band really can play their instruments, don't have to be autotuned and don't build tracks pieced together from a hundred takes. That takes talent, musicianship, song writing skills and stagecraft. The Hooters have all that.

Growing up in the suburbs of Philly, the Hooters were EVERYWHERE. You need to checkout “All You Zombies” and “Blood from a Stone”. Rob Hyman from the Hooters even teamed up with Cyndi Lauper on the track “Time After Time” on the She’s So Unusual Album.

[@professornuke7562]

The one feller is playing a mandolin, the other is a melodica, also known as a Harmon-e-pet. Sometimes you see them with a flexible blow-pipe so you can lay the keyboard flat and play with both hands. Thanks for doing this. You really did take me back. It was and is as you say, a 'banger'.

They were the band that helped Cyndi Lauper with “Girls Just Want To Have Fun”.

[@rubyswaim1441]

Thank you! I was trying to remember the Cindy Lauper connection!

[@dcsparky64]

The Hooters Rob Hyman co wrote Time after Time. Robert Hazard (another Philly artist) wrote "Girls Just Want to Have Fun.

[@psiclone23]

@@dcsparky64 - Thx! I knew that Hooters members had more involvement with Cyndi’s music, but I wasn’t sure of the details enough to add it in with my comment.

He’s playing a Melodica. It’s kind of like a harmonica. It’s a reed instrument but has a 3 octave keyboard. Pretty cool sounding.

I loved this band so much. Still have the vinyl. Wish I still had the band shirt.

[@AI_Surfer]

'South Ferry Road' is another great Hooters song.

[@MP-od1zz]

They still play today, and i see them in concert every year. Such a fun great band from my hometown. Hope you do more songs from them. They helped Cyndi Lauper and wrote Time after Time for her and they wrote One of Us for Joan Osbourne.

[@frauleinmona]

Rob Hyman wrote "Time After Time" with Cyndi Lauper. The band didn't write it for her. It was co-written by her and Rob. And Eric Bazillion wrote "One Of Us". Just thought you'd like to know.😊🙏💖🍀 *I edited my comment because I wanted to add an extra sentence.

[@lawrencedavis4406]

​@@frauleinmonathe key is that the Hooters were the backup band on Cyndi's big album She's So Unusual, so it was total collaboration...which is why that album was so good...

[@frauleinmona]

@@lawrencedavis4406 Yes, but the op said that The Hooters wrote "Time After Time" for Cyndi Lauper and they didn't. Rob Hyman and her wrote it together.😊 And yes, I know that Rick Chertoff The Hooters producer and Eric Bazilion played on her debut album 'She's So Unusual'.👌

[@lawrencedavis4406]

@@frauleinmona correct, you & both know the truth, the op had it wrong...

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I love this song! It just makes you feel good! It has an infectious sound and you can’t help but move!❤❤

[@atrope]

You guys have talked about missing out on drive-in theaters. At the beginning of the video the guys were jumping into the trunk so they could sneak in and not have to pay to see the movie/show. Great reaction!

[@johnsexton2200]

Their songs All You Zombies, and Where Do the Children Go are cool!

[@larrywilliams5014]

This brings back memories from this time. The Hooters were fun and quirky. Good stuff.

[@rulebs]

So glad you finally got around to the Hooters. One of my favorite's from the 80's. Saw them open for Bryan Adams . Next song, Day By Day . By the way Jay, you're right, I hear this song and think of the summer of 1985 when the song came out . They also played this song at Live Aid in Philadelphia

[@jhood758]

“All you Zombies “ was a good song by The Hooters too!

[@ladysky2883]

Ahhhhhhh That takes me back!!!! I loved this song when it came on the radio. Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@joeydee8264]

Btw that instrument is a Mandolin. Diamond Rio who you reacted to yesterday is well known to have it featured in most of their songs. Soooo I remember like it was yesterday. They were an unknown band who SOMEHOW got on the lineup at the Biggest LIVE Concert event in history in the Summer of 85 ... LIVE AID. It's where famously Queen is said to have the greatest live performance of all time. Anyway ... The Hooters got exposure and became pretty big right after because of it with 2 big hits. This being one of them.

[@deborahcurry1014]

That instrument is a hooter 🙂 I saw them in concert in 1986 here in Maine. They opened for Loverboy Great band!

[@davidgump1509]

I saw them open for Loverboy also(they blew them off the stage). One of the best opening acts I ever had the pleasure of seeing. They did a slowed down version of "Lucy in the sky with diamonds" with 2 mandolins that was frickin incredible!

[@jeffreymosher6334]

From the city that brought you Hall & Oates in 1970 - Philadelphia - brought us The Hooters in 1980 and they broke through with a handful of hits 1985 and 1986. Oh and of course Poison launched two hours west in Mechanicsburg, PA, ( near Harrisburg the state Capitol) in 1983. And in between the two cities the band Live (Lightning Crashes -1995) began in 1984 in York, PA. Southeastern Pennsylvania an unheralded hotbed for rock. Hair band Cinderella - Philly suburbs. Jim Croce - Philly active 1964-1973. And oh, Taylor Swift - West Reading, PA.

[@stevemadrid6522]

The lead singer of this band wrote Cyndi Lauper's song Time After Time and sang back up on it. For her first tour The Hooters were her stage band. Good times!
