The 80s Sing-Along Classic Everybody LOVES…But Has NO CLUE Who Sings It! | Professor of Rock

Poll: What is your pick for the Most ADDICTING SING-ALONG song of all time? One you always have to belt out?

Love "She's A Beauty"-A true 80's classic!

Fun fact: in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Fee Waybill plays one of the "Three Most Important People in the World", along with Clarence Clemons (of the E Street Band) and Martha Davis (of The Motels).

Not only is Fee a great front man, he's also a great songwriter. Thanks for showing the Tubes some love.

One of my favorite performances of theirs is when they were in Xanadu with Olivia Newton-John. She was doing 40's type music and they were doing hard rock. They started out doing separate parts and then blended the 2 types of music together. It was so cool to hear how well the 2 separate songs fit together by the end of the song!

I’ve always loved this song, not only because of the video on MTV, but just the joy you get singing it. The Tubes are way under rated.

Summer of 83! One of the best ever.

I CANNOT BELIEVE that "She's A Beauty" was never a #1 hit!! It's definitely #1 in MY heart. I have loved this song since it came out. It's absolutely brilliant and holds up after all these years.

The Tubes' performance of Sushi Girl on SCTV "Gill Fisher (John Candy), the Fishin' Musician" was killer.

I knew nothing of The Tubes other than "She's A Beauty". I thought of them as a one-hit wonder. I'm going to check out all their music, thanks Prof!

One of my dear friends once saw Fee in a bar. She recognized him and asked if he was him. He replied yes, but wanted to keep a low profile, since it was kind of a disco-ish bar. I think the Tubes' best album was Remote Control (also produced by Rundgren). It was such a dynamic tour de force, with a fascinating concept. I remember listening to it when I talked to my high school sweetheart for the last time whilst I was at Uni. AS I hung up the phone, I heard the lyric "I won't see you anymore/and if that's what love is for/then I don't understand." How prophetic those words were! Still... Remote Control remains one of my favourite albums.

"More Than A Feeling" - Boston "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" - Tears For Fears "In A Big Country" - Big Country "Take On Me" - A-Ha "Lips Like Sugar" - Echo and The Bunnymen "Jessie's Girl" - Rick Springfield "Don't You (Forget About Me) - Simple Minds I could go on but those are at the top of my list. :) Thanks Adam!

The opening of She's A Beauty instantly makes me turn up the radio to eleven. One of the best grooves from that time.

In the 80's, I lived in San Fran. My friend who's name was John, was visiting me and we went to Kearney St. As we were walking down the street, a barker said to John, "Do you want to see a naked lady?" His responds was, "Does she want to see a naked man?"

Fee Waybill, one of the greatest names in rock. And he lives up to it with his talent and creativity. The Tubes were awesome, so glad to see them get some play here.

Fee Waybill is still a madman and they still put on a great show, highly recommend to catch them if you can! He's also a super nice guy, and if you stay after the show he's almost guaranteed to sign stuff for you

Ok...Professor, I've got my ticket stub from the first time I saw The Tubes. I believe it was 1982. The "concert" was held at the Lambda Chi fraternity house in Chico, CA - California State University of Chico. I think I was 18 years old. Maybe 19. The Tubes were set up in a small room inside an old house. I think there were barely 100 people there. There were no spotlights, no stage, no nothing. I literally stood about 5-6' away from Fee during their performance. He had a big ole doobie he would take a hit from & then kept it between his guitar strings at the very top of the fret board. I don't have any photographs from that evening. We didn't take many pictures back then. After they were done playing, they stayed and hung out with all us students. I remember it being very fun but had never seen anything like it before. No one got out of control despite all the pot & beer floating about. I still don't understand why The Tubes were playing at a frat house in Chico. I think I heard one of the members of Lambda Chi knew the band through his father...who was some music guy...? I think about that night often and wonder - how did that event occur? I can send you a copy of my ticket stub. It's a pretty cool ticket (as tickets go). Can you find information about it? I've always wondered what exactly did I attend that night. I mean c'mon, I was standing 5' from Fee the entire time they played.

I remember almost driving my dad crazy, playing this awesome song by The Tubes over & over & over again. I would hit that good old "rewind" button as soon as the song would end. 😅 (My mom later told me she loved the song, so she didn't mind my multiple "repeats"! 😊❤) I was, of course, playing it on my huge boom-box, which my parents had gotten me for my 16th birthday. ❤😊❤ I loved the 80s....the good old days, for sure! ❤

Steve Lukather! This song (album) probably wouldn't exist without him. The 'Toto connection' could be an entire video on it's own. Toto is the Kevin Bacon of rock and roll.

"It was definitely worth the trip to the principal's office..." So true for so many things at that age. 🙂
