I spent 10 minutes yesterday searching for this song erroneously as sung by "The Replacements", Paul Westerberg's old band. No, dammit, it was The Romantics, not "Replacements"!
From Detroit, Michigan, at the beginning of the New Wave style of music, here's What I Like About You from the band's self-titled debut album from 1980.
This band did have one other song that played on the radio, Talking in your Sleep, but it wasn't as good a tune.
The Romantics (at the time, on this song):
Wally Palmar – rhythm guitar, harmonica
Mike Skill – lead guitar, vocals
Rich Cole – bass guitar, vocals
Jimmy Marinos – drums, percussion, lead vocals

PS: Did you see where Tucker Carlson is a Dead Head, Mr. Ganderson? (It's in his acknowledgements in "Ship of Fools", yep he says that's where the title comes from.)

PS Always loved this song!
Came across this this morning- had not heard it for many years- it has more or less the same plot as “Oh the Wind and Rain” that the JGB used to do.
