retroCRUSH reader Flying Monkey wrote to me, "I just gotta put in the good word for the harmonica solo at 1:30 in 'What I Like About You' by The Romantics. The standard by which all rock-n-roll harmonica is measured."  It's true!  Though not as proficient as some of Stevie Wonder's better harmonica solos, it's blue collar perfect rock mouth metal at it's finest.  Also interesting is that John Cougar Mellencamp practically carbon copied this entire tune when he recorded "R-O-C-K In The USA!"
