"Sausalito Summernight" by Diesel

Dutch band hit the U.S. charts with this song in 1981. It was a #1 hit in Canada. The guitar work is really excellent. I apologize, (sort of), for the video of swimsuit models. No official video exists, and it's better than staring at a picture of the band for 5 minutes.

My upvote is based solely on the merits of this song and has nothing to do with the scantily clad hotties that are currently giving me an erection as I type this comment with one hand.

This is actually a pretty decent song. I heard this on the radio once and had it constantly stuck in my head for MONTHS before I finally figured out what it was. I mean like every few days the damn chorus would pop into my head. The only lyrics I remembered were "all aboard" so I kept searching for different variations on that in Google, to no luck whatsoever. Eventually I went to Yahoo Answers and described it as best as I could, and someone finally got me out of my misery. Worst few months of my life.

To be candid, I remember when this song first hit the airwaves back in the day. I liked it mainly because of the unique guitar signature. Sure, it's not a timeless tune, but it really ain't bad. Maybe Diesel is yet another one-hit-wonder band, but that's still one more hit than virtually all of us will ever pen.

I'm not begging anyone to upvote this, because that's simply not my style. I'm just asking all of you to give it a listen and then cast an informed vote. If you don't find it appealing then do what your conscience dictates. Or do what your penis dictates and give it an upvote squared.

Appreciate the comments. While I liked this song at the time of it's release, I had kind of forgot about it. I was in a bar in Canada about 10 years ago and the band playing that night absolutely NAILED this song. Hearing it "live" like that made me realize what a great pop tune it is.
