Erinnert sich jemand an "The Tubes" ? - vielleicht 
9 months no post to my #Rockclassics series anymore - though I covered all I considered a classic for me - when I found something during Cellar tidying work, a 45 vinyl single from "The Tubes" - I loved that song ages ago - a band founded back in 1972 in San Francisco - Rock and Punk - the song I bought was probably the most comercial one. Maybe someone remembers them, they still tour and play as alll these 70ies/80ies Rock bands.

While they been Punk, rock they used a lot different hooks to music, from dance movies to use sports as background - one interesting one the production of their single "Sports Fans" that was recorded live during halftime of the legendary San Francisco 49ers "The Catch" game - you could see crew members on the side lines in the slow motion replay.
Here the original album version followed by a live version from 1983:
This song was from the album "Outside Inside" and made them a bit mainstream (hence I discovered them) and was produced by David Foster - a new approach for the band and exlains a tension between original arty members and the more commercial pop rock guys - album had support in production by several studio musicians -I love from Chicago and Toto.
Since that album I have to admit I did not hear a lot by them and also did not follow - maybe old farts like 
Bought the album as well and also liked that song here.
