LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JAN 4, 2019…THE ROMANTICS RELEASE THEIR SELF TITLED DEBUT ALBUM. THE ALBUM WAS DRIVEN BY THE SONG ‘WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU’. THE SONG CRACKED THE TOP 50 SINGLES ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS. IT LATER BECAME A ROCK ANTHEM WHEN IT WAS FEATURED IN A BUDWEISER BEER AD. IN 1987 THE ROMANTICS SUED THE MAKERS OF ‘GUITAR HERO’ FOR INCLUDING A SOUNDALIKE VERSION ON THEIR GAME. THEY LOST THE CASE IN COURT WITH THE JUDGE RULING THAT THE GAME MAKER HAD TAKEN ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS IN THE MAKING OF THE GAME.
HERE’S THE OFFICIAL VIDEO THE ‘WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU’ WITH THE BAND SPORTING BACK PLEATHER OUTFITS.
