Romantics – "She's Got Everything" (1979)

I ain’t got a dime

But she don’t care

(You may believe that, pard, but I’ve got news for you – she cares . . . she cares A LOT!)

I’m surprised that the Romantics’ “What I Like About You” didn’t crack the top 40 in the U.S. – I would have guessed it was a big hit.  

Maybe I remember it less from hearing it on the radio and more from seeing the Bud Light commercial it was used in.  (You can click here to see that commercial.)

“What I Like About You” and today’s featured song were both released on the group’s eponymous debut album in 1980. “She’s Got Everything” is the only cover on that album – it was written by Ray Davies and released by the Kinks as a B-side in 1968.

By the way, the Romantics had unbelievable hair:

I first heard the Romantics’ version of “She’s Got Everything” on the February 16 version of Drew Carey’s February “Friday Night Freakout” show on the Sirius/XM “Underground Garage” channel.  

So why is it dated February 9?  Because sometimes 2 or 3 lines falls a bit behind schedule.  Don’t worry, boys and girls – we’ll catch up sooner or later!
