I was blown away when I saw this music video and discovered that the drummer was the lead vocalist. Many ppl don’t understand how difficult it is to play drums and sing that well at the same time
The drummers expressions ❤ singing, beating the drums and that scream is "Priceless." Today you still want to get up and "Dance" to this "Classic."❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am so in love with you and you turn away, you got nothing to say, your tongue is tied in knots. Take a crow bar to your heart and pry it loose just don't blow a fuse your life is lived below
Wikipedia - "What I Like About You" is a song by American rock band the Romantics. Written by band members Wally Palmar, Mike Skill and Jimmy Marinos in 1979, the song is included on the band's self-titled debut album (1980), and was also released as a single in late 1979. Marinos, the band's drummer, is the lead vocalist on the song. The band filmed a music video for the song that appeared frequently on MTV during the early 1980s.
Met these guys in a small bar in the early 90's, they were just average guys having fun, not hitting on the girls, just hanging out drinking and enjoying life, I was a fan before but left that night with a new respect.
I've heard this song many times but not until now did I realize how much energy they put into it. Can you imagine bringing it like this in concert after concert? Impressive
The rhythm playing on this song - especially the intro - is freaking fantastic. It's one thing to be able to mimic it but these guys came up with this. The picking approach and choice of chord voicings creates SO MUCH energy. I've seen a lot of cover bands do pale imitations, but never seen anyone but the Romantics do justice to this song. I've seen them live in a big venue and I've seen them on a day they'd probably like to forget at FSU campus - for me it was awesome to see them up close and personal but it was clear that this gig was not set up to do them justice.
My grandma loved this song at 93 she would get up and dance She asked me who dose this song and told her it was the Romantics. We played it at her wake, I know she was up their dancing we all pictured her kicking up her feet and smiling and clamping her hands together in joyfullness, this song is PURE ROCK & ROLL, precise, harmony, soulful, a master piece One for all the ages TIMELESS LUV U GrandMa
Agreed. I’ve been trying to learn that intro for the past couple days and the strumming and chord changes make it a pretty tough one to get down properly.
@@davebryan8416 I'm sure you know this, but your best bet is to loop the intro and play it at 1/2 speed (or less?) over and over until you cannot get it wrong (i.e. until you're so sick of it you never want to hear it again! LOL!). Then start doing it at a slightly faster speed. Rinse/repeat until full speed.
I saw these guys live in 88, and NO-ONE was sitting when this song played. Everyone dancing in the aisles, on their seats. One of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Wow.....I LIKE THIs IT"S THE SPOUND.................................................................................................................SOUND..............
Co-written by drummer Jimmy Marinos and guitarist Mike Skill; lead vocals by Jimmy Marinos. Harmonica solo by Wally Palmar, who was the rhythm guitarist and was also usually the band's lead singer.
Got straight up chills when I saw the harmonica player playing. Dude now I see this song differently other than just hearing it on the radio. It's legit musicianship.
El baterista y que canta , es un asesino..asi debe ser 👍👍💪💪💪👍👍2 guitarrras, bajo, armónica y batería......notable ..Grandioso tema,......pura energía y fuerza para bailar...... maestros 🧎🧎🧎👏👏👏
There was a band called the Monkees... their drummer was a singer too.... oh... and a band called the Band had a drummer that could sing... Karen Carpenter was a drummer...
How blessed I was to have grown up in the generation where creativity was at an all time high and real ingredients were used quick in food. This classic is still killer.
Love how they are all just playing their hearts out. The energy in their performance here is something every new artist should watch. The shoulder turn at the end of the song, too. Just magic. This song is timeless and I hope the guys are doing well and that they are happy that they had such a MONSTER hit that still stands the test of time. #DetroitRocks #❤️TheRomantics
They were such a great bar band....used to see them in South Chicago every time they came to town. Energy level 200%, nobody sat down, the air was all sweat, suds and rock 'n' roll for hours!
Who's ever listening to this. You Have an Amazing taste in music. Keep searching 60s and 70s music the attention and comments would hopefully keep those decades alive. ROCK ON!!
Rick Kernell I’m not too keen on their later material like “Talking in Your Sleep” but I was just listening to their self-titled Romantics album and tbh, it’s pretty damn good. Very “no bs” rock and down to the point. I highly recommend it.
I remember when I was in high school and this would come on at a party -- everyone would get up to dance. I never knew the drummer did the lead singing. What an timeless, awesome song!
Hahaha .... I hear ya .... good one! Rock on ... you know you'll never be kicked off of YT and turn it up as loud as you want .... I (nor any of the rest of us) sure don't mind! I think it'd be cool to be your neighbor if you rock on to great music! :)

This is the best 3 minutes of Rock & Roll ever recorded. Its perfect & stands the test of time. Every move by the band is just outstanding. Look at the opening move by the drummer in the background, followed by everything the band does after that. It just rocks. Wow!

Talented rockers. Very rare to see a drummer singing lead too!
Phil Collins comes to mind (probably one of the best Drummer/Singers).
+tallrnu
Naw.....best drummer singer is Don Henley from EAGLES, but Jimmy from Romantics is good too.
ALSO drummer from NIGHT RANGER was good.
Peter Rivera from Rare Earth, and also Don Brewer from Grand Funk Railroad. More Michigan greats!
also The Monkees
+tallrnu Yeah, but Phil came out from behind the drums to take center stage. This guy, not so much. 😜

But he made it seems so easy!
It's a very small number of people who can sing lead and drum. Karen Carpenter and Sheila E come to mind.🥁

Frickin' off the charts great single. This is one of my favorite songs and videos ever. OK, I was born in '60, but this stuff is timelessly fantastic. One time where the video actually propelled the song into an even higher gear. This may be the most perfect garage rock song ever!
Such great memories. I’ll never forget the first time I heard this song; it was like nothing I had ever heard before. ❤️❤️❤️
One of my happy feel good songs of all time !! Thank you so very much !!!
