Jan 1, 2008 - Thanks to the Rubinoos, rock 'n' roll isn't entirely dead!

Jan 11, 2008 - Don't agree with family cat but he does have a point - this is just a very tired old basic rock riff - nothin' to it. I Wanna be Your Boyfriend - now THAT was great powerpop! Anyone got the clip? PLEASE!!!

28if Says:

Mar 21, 2008 - Duh, that was thepoint of the song

pernicketty Says:

Mar 21, 2008 - So does that mean I have to like it?

Apr 1, 2008 - You can not like it and still not get the point. :D

pernicketty Says:

Apr 1, 2008 - I always understood the point. What makes you think I didn't?

Apr 17, 2009 - Rock N Roll will never die it will live on forever

fkguitar Says:

Aug 26, 2009 - I think you're all missing the point, which is...it isn't dead. The chord progression isn't any more or less complex than a lot of the other Rubinoos material...it's just played in a different style. You can't judge how good a song is by how many chords are in it anyway! I always felt that what they were saying is that even though they play pretty pop songs with harmonies they still can't resist kicking out the jams once in awhile. That's the point!

AnnaAnnaYes Says:

Sep 12, 2010 - They were as good as The Knack....but for some reason they never caught onin the U.S. Thank God for Europe. R.I.P Doug Fieger!

motownmaniax Says:

Nov 4, 2010 - This is actually pretty close to the studio one. They were a great live band. I'm surprised more vids aren't up from their 1977 classic LP? Maybe copyright issues? I'll try putting this song up and see.

28if Says:

Jan 22, 2011 - They got caught up with their record distribution going bankrupt right when they had momentum

AnnaAnnaYes Says:

Jan 22, 2011 - You are right, i forgot Berserkely went belly-up !
