His other hit was the worst song of 81’, “Love is like a Rock”.

You’ll never get that earworm riff outa your head.

He was also a member of The Jaggerz, who had a hit in 1970 with “The Rapper.”

You know, I listen to the same song over and over in the morning when i get home from overnight shift cause for some reason it gets me to sleep quicker.

I am FINALLY getting close to being done with Hold me, Kiss me, Thrill me after what, 2 weeks ago?

I’m a little OCD.

Now I’ll have to latch on to another song you post :)

The song is better than the video.

Love the song, but, man, dude looks like Bill Nye the Science Guy doing an Elvis Costello imitation

One of my all time favorites of the new wave era. I think I was about twelve when I first heard this song.

Donny opened for a Ted Nugent concert I was at, it did not go well

Very catchy song. Especially the closing vocals and ending with the synthesizer.

Donnie Iris is still a local celebrity in Pittsburgh, and has done the national anthem for Steelers games.

Does anyone know who’s the lady in the video?

Quite possibly the best use of harmonics in any song ever.

Oh, and the song perfectly describes one of my youthful flings, too. Still miss her...

1980s - A very good year.

Also, among the top on the list was this -
Rupert Holmes
“ESCAPE” AKA the Pina Colada Song

Lol, since you were a good sport. I tried a little BingFu, and the internet seems to think she’s either Joanna Lumley or Bebe Buell. I’m not sure she looks like either.
