Songoftheday 1/28/14 - There you stood that'll teach you to look so good and feel so right, let me tell you about the girl I met last night...


Survivor - "High On You"
from the album Vital Signs (1984)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #8 (two weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 11

Today's Song of the Day is by the mainstream rock band Survivor, who had weather the loss of lead singer Dave Bickler with the recruitment of Jimi Jamison and a top-20 single with "I Can't Hold Back". They followed that song up with a synth-heavy rocker written by core members Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan, "High On You". I can see that the video director most likely watched the hell out of the Police's "Wrapped Around Your Finger" before filming their clip...


"High On You" did even better then their previous single, scoring their second top-ten pop hit in March of 1985, while reaching the same peak on the rock radio chart in Billboard magazine.
