OK, I have this tune in my head. I can't remember WHO did it.
It's NOT:
Stray Cats
Rocket 88
Fabulous Thunderbirds
Nick Lowe
Haircut 100
Well, being old, and senile, I just can't remember any of the other rockabilly bands.
Any other suggestions of 1980's Rockabilly bands?
The music was overproduced, and the vocalist was a tenor or higher. It had a doowop sound to it. One tune I remember was (I think) "Stand Tall" or something like that.

42- Duh.
But seriously- he just happened to have one of my favorite songs stuck in his head. If you've heard the song you would have to realise that while I loves me the ladies I must be at least 4-7% gay.
I like Burning Flame by Vitamin Z as well. Maybe -it's 9-13%.

It was 49, so not bad for being within 10.

ELO and Dave Edmunds are rockabilly also.

All men are created equal, but what they do after that point puts them on a sliding scale.
