    I really do like the mandolin/melodica intro to that song, though. It makes the tune, and really stands out from the increasingly synthetic sounds of 80s radio.
    Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...

    What about All You Zombies? I remember that being played quite a bit on MTV, though nowhere to the extent that Day By Day and And We Danced were played.

    And I agree, the melodica and mandolin on the The Hooters records was actually pretty cool, especially given the era we're talking about.

    I never had the albums, but I always dug the singles, and I thought All You Zombies was the best of them. Love that sort of spooky slide guitar on the intro. Had a weird video too.

    The Hooters got a lot of airplay around here with several songs from different albums. Personally I would not consider them a one hit wonder, at least in my neck of the woods.
