    Two-Hit Wonders: The Romantics

    'What I Like About You' (No. 48, 1980)
    'Talking in Your Sleep' (No. 3, 1983)

    The Detroit power poppers' 1983 hit 'Talking in Your Sleep' was a Top Three single. But thanks to countless cheesy movie trailers and stupid ads, everyone remembers 'What I Like About You' instead, even though it barely broke the Top 50 three years earlier. That's a great argument for selling out, but did we really deserve that Amanda Bynes TV show?

    One In A Million also charted in the top 50 for them. It was on the same album as Talking in Your Sleep.

    I'm Gonna Rock You Up? Their latest album (61/49)is very good and Wally and company were still kicking it out this summer in Mount Clemins, MI.

    Not a good reason to like the song, Amanda's shows suck.
