It's actually a marimba

They had a song called Everybody Dance as well, but it wasn't nearly as popular.

okay, I know, Sweet was not a one hit wonder....but , but ....its such a fun song and video - I could not resist

They also had Love Is Like Oxygen and the great Fox on the Run.

Everything But the Girl - Missing
I know they had other hits elsewhere.
In the late 90's got a chance to meet them

Donna Lewis - I Love You Always Forever

Nine weeks at #2 on the Billboard singles chart....no other top 40 hits

 

[soundboy]

While the duo Boy Meets Girl wrote the #1 songs "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" for Whitney Houston, they only have two top 40 hits as recording artists. "Waiting For a Star to Fall" peaked at #5 and no one even know what was their other hit.

The below video is not the official music video to the song but it's a fun tribute to the 80s....

Stretch , Why did you do it ! Great story about the song, apparently the lyric was a direct attack on Mick Fleetwood for his failure to join the band on the ill-fated US tour . Elmer Terry from Elmer Gantry singing

 

[Gimme 4]

The Avant-Garde - Naturally Stoned

..back in two and eleven?

Chuck Woolery (yes, the game show host) is singing lead on this track.

Sugarloaf “Green Eyed Lady”
