Vote for your favorite ROMANTICS song.........whether it be the chart-favorite, Talking In Your Sleep (#4 ); or the stadium anthem, What I Like About You (#25).

Personally, I sincerely despise What I Like About You, but still sing along with Talking In Your Sleep. The lyrics might be cheesy, but I can't resist the riffs in the song. Cannot.

Another for What I Like About You. Talking in your sleep is a very good song but just prefer the other one.

Groucho

After seeing the trailer for Marmaduke, I never want to hear "What I Like About You" again.

Hokeyboy

The Romantics only recorded two songs?

Buttmunker

They're only known for two songs.

I mean, c'mon - unless you're a die-hard Romantics fan who has all their albums, but to the "commoner," they're only known for the two hits.

Another awesome thread Butt.

I wouldn't say I was a 'die-hard', but I definitely fall into the latter category, and even I'd agree with you on that call. I went with "Talking In Your Sleep", as it's also on my favorite Romantics album, and isn't as played out as "What I Like About You".

You despise "What I Like About You"? This is an easy choice.

Ky-Fi

I remembered they had one other song that I liked, and after some searching I found it:

Flashback

I forgot about that one but it was popular. I am against the grain, both OP songs were good, but I always liked What I Like About You better.

Randy Castillo looked a lot like the Romantics drummer.

Chrisedge

This.

atlantamoi

They really had a slew of great songs. I have 38 of their tunes on my iPod!

JAA

I always enjoyed Talking In Your Sleep more than that other one. If you had listed Rock You Up it might have been closer for me.

Jason

Its still better than Smashmouth's "All Star"

iggystar

This.

Alan Smithee

I vote for One in a Million. Talking in Your Sleep was good too; What I Like About You was just OK and pretty much ignored when it was new, but since it's been used in a billion movie trailers it's on my list of songs I never want to hear again.

Mabuse

I got the Romantics mixed up with the Rembrants and I came in here to shit on that song from Friends and vote for That's Just The Way It Is Baby.

Anyway I voted WILAY

atlantamoi

Kind of wrong on both accounts.

JAA

Not so sure about that. I seem to remember that song had been released for awhile before it actually 'took off'.

LiquidSky

What I Like About You Reminds me of slinging back cheap rot-gut booze at various college bars back in the early 1980s. There was one place that had "8 for 1" drink specials.

Stamina

The college bar/clubs I went to back then played both "What I like about you" & "She's got everything". The Romantics version of the old Kinks song. Songs 6 & 7, both under 3 minutes.

Does anyone else remember this?

I'd also vote "One in a million" over "Talking in your sleep".

atlantamoi

I can't say for the whole country, but the rock station in Indy played "What I Like" quite a bit when it came out. Could be a regional as Lemmy suggested.

HUG-H

Can we vote on the hair? :lol

Also, is it just me, or is light shining through venetian blinds an '80's cliche?
