It's The Tubes.  I was pretty heavily into this album in '81 because my RA who I had a big crush on played it a lot.

Tubes, an album cut from Completion Backwards. Nothing to write home about.
Let's get right to it.

Except that it isn't "Talk to Ya Later" or "She's a Beauty", so it is a bit more distinctive than the much more Katrinaesque alternatives.
EDIT:  Except that that wouldn't happen since "She's a Beauty" comes from Outside/Inside which came out a couple years later.  So never mind.

I can't believe the bonus track was a song that is one of KFOG's current overplayed "classics" (it's rapidly becoming the new "Killer Queen").  But, hey, "Fogheads Choose!"

It's also something of a cheat, as the album was released in Dec '81 and the single didn't hit until '82.
