Lyrics:
Hey
Uh huh huh
Hey
Uh huh huh
What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
Wanna come over tonight, yeah
Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
'Cause it's true
That's what I like about you
What I like about you
You really know how to dance
When you go up, down, jump around
Think about true romance, yeah

To play the drums while singing this high-energy song is true talent. Song never gets old.
It's true , 🇨🇦🎶❤️🦅
Remined me of Peter Criss. . .
And being the ultra rare left handed drummer was well.
You got that right
The vocal track on this video is 100% done in the studio. That's not the way that mic sounds, or the way the voice would come out with his head moving around and drum sticks flying by. Here it is actually done live. ua-cam.com/video/DVwNl0qRzZM/v-deo.html
Everything a rock and roll song should be: fast, loud and short.
And no politics or social statements
Good points, short and sweet. Just like this tune.
2024 still Dynamic !!!!!!
Got to Love a Drummer who can sing and play Drums simultaneously! Have to keep a Beat and a Melody ! The mark of True Talent!
Jimmy Culpepper
Karen Carpenter
@@dagobertkrikelin1587 Check out the Standells... Try It, Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White...
Check out 'Rare Earth' then.
The Kildares.
I am 76 and these guys are GREAT!!!.......That harp makes this song!!!.....PLAY.....it......LOUD!!!
OK boomer.
@@tranzco1173 Great taste in music has no age!
3 guitars, a drum set and that wailing harmonica. Great 80's song. The song that gets everybody on the dance floor.
That Richenbacker. no sound likw it.
2 guitar 1 bass 1 drum and harmonica
@@FUTURETRUNKS2001 a bass is a guitar. It is not a harp, tamborine or anything else but a guitar.
Oh yeah! 💃
Not OK boomer.
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. 😜
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.
Worked that tour! Rockin' show indeed
Word.
Wow, a whole arena of people with really bad taste? Must have been sucky/good for you.
That harmonic ❤aye
Used for South Dakota on the 2024 DNC roll call dance party.
fantastic song, back in the day when music was great, not the stuff of today, bring it back
Never gets old. One of my 'instantly makes me happy' songs.
most danceable song in rock
Honestly same
Same
@Ban this youtube your so right😎
Exactly 💯
The 80s rocked.
Like no other decade!
to be young again, ahh....
Not as much as the '70's, but this is a great song!
What I loved was all the AIDS and parachute pants. Such a magical time.
@@LynnConrad-084 Sorry but the 80s got this one
I'm a 70 yr old African American old as lady and what I like about this song is it's purity. No gimmicks. Just plain good music and musicians!
Gotta love a guy who beats his drums like they owe him money. 😆
I remember this song with a an ex-wife in Norfolk, VA...at a concert....damn good...around 1982.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Thanks
Imom
Remember music has no color! ❤
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 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
Drummers🥁Rule! We Use Both Hemispheres of Our Brain🤯Rock Hard😎Gen_X
Same thing with bassists, love the drumming-singing here, it’s GREAT!! 🎉
Occasionally,but in live both Wally and Jimmy sing it. Drummer also sings in Rock You Up
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.🥁
Who's else is still watching and listening to this amazing classic video?
Still listening in 2024
yep nothing beats the 1980's full stop, other than maybe remix versions of all the 1980's hits. ✌✌🦘🦘 2024.
Still listening in 2030@@lisaparsons4124
Anyone 2024????
Yes, this song is a timeless classic !
So stupid
Oh yeah …
Stop being so pathetic.
I was here 11 years ago just got back
My God. Still sounds fresh after decades. Classic.
Everything was better before the Net, and now AI is going fuk up music, art, actors, the world.
You're whispering in my ear
@@kellyhall2325 can you hear me twinkling.
@@stevenrobert8567 Agreed. If we weren't sure before that we weren't gonna ever get great music and art like this again, AI has removed all doubt.
Hey sonnng.
I want to buy a ticket to the 80s please.
I'd step into the time warp.lol
Nahhh i was a teen in the 80s... ill pass
Graduated HS in 82 and undergrad in 86...sign me up
@@stevejohnson1577
So was I - can I have your ticket? LOL...
College in late 70's, early 80's. You will not believe how much fun you will have on that trip!
4 talented Italian-American musicians from Detroit
Actually the lead singer of the band, Wally Palmer, is from Ukranian immigrant parents.
@@JuanMejia-zo4dy Thank you.
@@stevenrobert8567 you,
@@JuanMejia-zo4dy This America, and we damn well do not care about that. Dig?
Jimmy Marinos is Greek American.
That harmonica tho! Every piece of this song rocks! Timeless feel good!
Not OK Boomer.
@@tranzco1173Get a real life kid
The rare perfect song.
I don’t often agree with statements like that, but in this case I must
I was 20 when this came out. 80’s were fun!!!
And the music still makes me feel alive!!!
80s RULE!!! No other decade compares.
79 technically. 70s still the best lol
This is just a really feel good song.❤❤
"Rick Foley - 2 months ago- "This song got me evicted from two dorms, one apartment, three home owners associations and two retirement communities"! lol lol lol :)
Lol😂
It's GREAT MUSIC!!!!
LOL 😂
Always love the rare drummer lead singing
Pure, simple, direct, unadulterated rock 'n roll. So rare today.
Love the high energy of this band!
Wow.....I LIKE THIs IT"S THE SPOUND.................................................................................................................SOUND..............
An amazing GUITAR STRUMFEST!
Cheyenne orviso
My mother loved her some COZ
Yessir! I also wanna say I love your video of Green Onions cover!
What about the drummer? He nails this on the drums and lead vocals!
this band always reminded ne of the Hollies
Singing AND PLAYING THE DRUMS HELL YEAH!!
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.
Wow, what else can you copy and paste off Wikipedia? How about "NOT OK BOOMER"?
This song got me evicted from two dorms, one apartment, three home owners associations and two retirement communities.
Have them play it at your funeral so you can get kicked out of there and live forever.
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! :)
Rock on!
Funny...but agree
You could have refused to leave.
Underrated band.
Brings me back to Better days. Fantastic Music!!! The 1980s music kicked ass....
The seventies and eighties best music ever.
@@barrykime5580 So True, some of the best music was made in the 1970s.
The drummers expressions ❤ singing, beating the drums and that scream is "Priceless." Today you still want to get up and "Dance" to this "Classic."❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is forever and then some. (--:
I think his Dad was the lead singer of the Animals.
He looks like his taking a really constipated shit the whole time! Priceless.
Man, this band was tight. Like a well-oiled machine. So much energy and so much fun.
not the same band without drummer Jimmy Marinos.
MTV played the shit out if this video. I couldn't get enough.
It is my absolute favorite song to play for any 3 minute filler. It always fits, no matter the show or event.
This song still rocks in 2023. Such raw talent and energy to match. It’s a timeless classic that’ll live on forever. #NeverForgetThe80s 💖💖💖
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
@@danniflood812 wow are those Justin Bieber lyrics
@linasbutcher 1914 yeah this song still Rocks. The Jonas brothers song sucker Sounds Like this song
I only discovered it about a month ago, I’m 40 so not sure how I’ve missed it up to this point, absolutely brilliant wee song..
Applebees food brought me here
Alive and kicking here at 70 ! I can still move and rock to this !
Sabrina!
i'm here because i like this song
Call ie nobody cares how old u are. Just enjoy the song
obviously, why would you be watching this video if u didnt
Same
That's what I like!
Saw them in '85- had a beautiful date so we hung out after the show Asked the singer where they got their cool leather snake skin pants- same as Blue Oyster Cult- The Leather Man in NYC
"Keep on whispering in my ear, tell me all the things that I want to hear.''❤🔥🔥
Classic. Top 100 Songs Of All Time.
I'm shocked that this never made the top 40. One of the greatest rock songs ever. Can never sit still when I hear it.
I'm pretty sure it made the top 40 or I wouldn't have heard it.
@@toddstroger9505 Nope. Only made #49 on hot 100

Kingdom Come///
SavageBoy69Alt Genesis did that too, though they weren't my cup of tea
The Eagles - Hotel California.
The drummer was the singer
Did Phil Collins ever play and sing live?
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...
THIS IS ROCK n ROLL 🎶♥️🎶‼️‼️‼️
I'm tired of people showing up at my house with cases of beer every time I play this on my speakers
I'm 73 and this song still has me jumping around. Just love this song. Makes you want to dance and rock!!
Never too old to rock.
I am almost 80 and still rockin’
i am 65 love it gets me moving.
Good exercise. 😁
I'm almost 75 and I get up and dance exercise to this
No one has mentioned yet but the bass player literally killing this song
80's MUSIC NEVER DIES !
EVEN 90's MUSIC NEVER DIES
It’s kind of hard for something that was never alive to die. Now tortoises. There’s something with an impressive life span
Never die indeed!
60/70s >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 80s
True but technically this is 1979
This song's actually better if you think about someone you love or have a crush on.
Been doing it for years
I think I have a crush on the drummer in this song. Hah
So very true cabrey thinking about u
that's what I like about me
Thanks for reminding me that no one like me 😀
Not a big Romantics fan but this song has to go down as a rock anthem...
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.
@@danbam3411 I will have to listen to it.Thanks...
Reminds me of the Ramones
another fine band out of Michigan...I told u...it's in the soul...I mean soil
have u listened to "One in a Million"...I think u'd like it :)
NOBODY can sit this out. Yellow, black, white-even North Korea would dance to it if they could just hear it…one of rocking-est songs ever.
Who else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one🖐🏼✌🏼️
Nope. You are not.
me me me too
you are not the only one.
Right here bro. 😎
You are not & it’s true
Who else is here in 2021 still listening.
I was looking for songs using the mixolydian scale, and found this - this song is in E Mixo V-I-IV
Me. Love this tune.
Hey!
ME‼️ BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HEY‼️
I time travelled back from 2525 to 2021 to hear this
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.
God.... we were so young...
If you're here in 2023, you are legend. Rock on.
I am. You too.
2024. I have this song, have had it for a long time, but the music video itself is so hype i come back to watch it periodically 😆
I'm here!
July 4th 2024 Happy 4th ❤️🤍💙
Woke up this morning singing this! Haven't heard this in years
The Romantics do not get nearly enough credit for this iconic tune.
57 years old This tune has always been Aces start to finish.
Rock the way it's supposed to be ... young, energetic, rhythmic and movin.
my neighbors love this song so much that they threw a brick through my window so they could hear it louder !
Man, that's crazy cat neighbours!
Your just the giving type the world needs more of
lol nice
Classic!
My neighbors called the cops about this song being too loud. The cops came and took my neighbors to jail!
SO MANY PHENOMENAL GROUPS AND INDIVIDUAL MUSICAL TALENT IN THE 70’S ,80’S, and 90’s !!🤗
I grew up on The Romantics.
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!!
Absolutely no one:
Me: No, seriously. Harmonica kicks ass.
I pretty much for the most part hate the harmonica but in this song it was amazing. I am still trying to understand just what happens when I hear this song
@@heavnnnsent What Happens? One word: "Quantum Entrainment."
Actually, that's TWO words. I'll show myself out...
A Masterpiece of rock and roll. Great job the Romántics!!! Pure energy, rithm and talent. Greetings of Perú.
I absolutely love this song!! I always have to dance when I hear it! They are so talented!! Xoxoxoxo
Women: "Men can't multitask"
The Romantics drummer: "Hold my microphone"
Nothing but truth right there.
😂🤣😂🤣 that's awesome!
NIGHT RANGER DRUMMET
😂
Y'all just making up sayings now
Brilliant song. I recall it well.
Such a great party song.
An all-time classic.
Saw these guys live at Massey Hall a million years ago. One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
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
Especially with that rhythm section being played with a Rickenbacker 325 too. One of the best for rhythm, for obvious reasons.
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.
Stay out of my yard though!!!
omfg thanks for sending me here ash .. i hope 5sos cover this :)
Still one of the greatest albums ever!!!!!
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
Can't help dancing when I hear this song.... brings me to life!
A classic that always makes you move and groove ! Hey !
A lefty singing drummer. That’s awesome.
thanks ash :)
Whether it's 5SOS,Lilix,Poison,The Romantics.I love this song
Don't matter how many times I've heard this.......such a rockin' song.
that "Hey" is belted out in all the right places. This song smokes.
Agree
It's like, perfect.
Who is here from 2065 and still loves this music?
It's 3000 and I'm here
How can you possibly keep still when that song comes on? Still one of the best ever made!
This song rocks!!, and it's sadly underrated...
Im here after seeing Trump :)
It’s very well known, how is it underrated? I’m not taking away from it tho, I love this song
Underrated? Nooooooo
Underrated? They didn't even rate it yet.... pretty insane
I was trying to run a brake press with this song jamming in my head...... needless to say my parts didn't come out right and my boss thinks I'm nuts!😎
Great performance!! Drummer singing lead and nailing it. Thanks guys.
The Romantics a awesome group I remember in 1983, when I was 17
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!
I'm listening now and I agree!
It also sounds just like the music from Neil Diamond's song "Cherry". Just thought I'd mention that in case nobody else ever noticed this.
You said it very well. So true. TRUE Rock & Roll.
Are you insane?
@@jeffreywilliamson79 Wow, I haven’t heard that song in ages! I was in 5th grade (1973) & my friend’s dad work for a radio station or something back in the day & she brought a butt load of 45s over for me and this was one of them! Thanks for the blast from the past. ✌🏻
Buck favorite song 😅
This the way rock and roll should be played with heart and fast ! Great!
Brings back collected days. Wow. Wild time of life
Whole street hundreds rocking
2021 pay attention and take note: this is fun .
COTD!
Detroit 2/18/2021
The eighties were fun!!
This is a great song sooooooooooooooooooooo good!
I loved the 80's! I feel somewhat sorry for those that didn't live through them. It was great!
I lived through most of them... As a toddler. Shit.
Best danged decade of my life
I was born at the tail end unfortunatley. Technically an 80's baby, but my first memories are sometime in '91.
@@ZOSO900 Still a great time fo music
Always knocks my socks off when the lead vocalist is also the drummer! How do they split their brains like that?
It's not easy to organically work a harmonica into a classic rock song, but somehow, the Romantics did it flawlessly
You must like the Pretenders Middle of the Road: ua-cam.com/video/hONtmFgh3IQ/v-deo.html
what about Black Sabbath's the Wizard
The beatles also
When the Levee Breaks
@@Spgonahan Good point
There is one thing this song has that no cover has ever done justice.
That f***en awesome harmonica solo! Until a cover can match that, this original will always be the best, period.
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.
Drummer lead singer, tending to an absolute classic, right here!
This song will stand the test of time just like Beethoven’s Moonlight sonata.
If you have any sense of rhythm at all, this song will find it.
