Seems like cover bands are more likely to play "What I Like About You", a song that reached #49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1980.  Meanwhile, this song made it to #3 in 1984.  It even topped the Dance/Disco chart and made it to #2 on the Album Rock Tracks chart.

It's a very easy song to play -- great for beginners -- with the same pattern for both the verse and chorus and a fun little pre-chorus section.

Talking In Your Sleep

This was one of those songs which just started playing on the streaming service after the song I was looking for. Half way between dance and alternative rock, I can see this song working well in the clubs.

High Hopes

Our band pitches songs for considerations over a group text.  Today, this one came up as a possibility.  "Walking In LA" was their biggest song from 1983.  This one came out a year earlier and didn't break into the top 40.  Still it's a fun, high-energy song that will spark some MTV nostalgia.

If you want to learn this one, it's rather simple with a relentless 16th notes throughout.
