This was filmed in the long-closed Exton Drive-In in Exton, Pennsylvania. My mother actually asked if I wanted to go to a "video shooting" near Exton. I had no clue and (probably) acted like a total ass and declined her invitation. If I had only known people would still be watching this video almost 40 years later. The stories that were told were that the shoot took forever and they barely fed you but even so, I would have had that memory with my late mother. I grew up in Kennett Square, PA which was about 20 minutes away, close to the Delaware border. The Hooters were well known in Philadelphia long before "Nervous Night" came out in 1985. The local rock station WMMR played them all the time. Most people don't remember that The Hooters opened the Philadelphia portion of Live Aid. I worked/hung out with a band (The Stand) in the late 1980s in the Philadelphia area and they were managed by the same guy who managed The Hooters Eric Bazillion (the lead singer with dark hair) would occasionally stop in at the end of The Stand's gigs. They stopped in one night at The Rusty Nail in Ardmore, PA and my sister-in-law happened to be there and she freaked out! When Eric Bazillion introduced himself to her she damn near fainted. Man, I miss those days of drinking "Red Deaths" and hanging out with my friends. Glad you got to the Hooters. You should listen to the "original" version of "All You Zombies" from (ca.)1981 it is vastly different from the version that was on "Nervous Night".

Throwing my 2 cents worth in, the next Hooters song needs to be Day, by Day, and then Johnny B. Also the Keyboard /Whistle is called a Melodica. It is kind reed instrument that used a simular sound producing system to a harmonica . concertina or accordion. You can pick up "novelty" version for $15-$20 good one for under $100.

I hope it pleases you to hear, that in my native Sweden, the Hooters were, and remain, COLOSSAL. They are immensely, dare I say universally beloved. They famously played at the heavy metal orientated Sweden Rock Festival (30 000-40 000 people strong every year) a few years ago, initially feeling trepidation whether the promotos really hadn't made a mistake by booking the band. But they were happily surprised, bordering on shocked, to find tens of thousands of metalheads roaring and cheering and singing along to every word of every song from beginning to end. We LOVE our Hooters here in Sweden. Toto is another one of those bands that after a while seemed to dwindle home in the US, but are so big in Sweden that they put Journey and Van Halen to shame. And I mean that literally.

Several Hooters fun facts: came out of the rich Philly music scene, are still together to this day, are HUGE in Japan and their lead keyboardist and one of the founding members, Rob Hyman, wrote the song “Time After Time”, which Cyndi Lauper took and turned into a Number One hit single.

That instrument is called a melodica. It's an acoustic instrument that integrates elements of woodwinds and organs, not unlike the accordion or harmonica. It's mostly used in Dub Reggae, but in the 80s it was also used in lots of Pop/Rock and even Synthpop (New Order and Depeche Mode used it in a few songs each). In the intro, break, and outro it is played alongside a mandolin. The Hooters were great. They were one of many Heartland Rock acts (Springsteen, Petty, Seger, Hornsby, etc) on the radio during the 80s singing about nostalgia for decades gone by and teenage love. Fun fact, two years earlier, they were also the backing band on Cyndi Lauper's HUMONGOUS hit LP She's So Unusual, which featured the hits "Time After Time", "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", "Money Changes Everything", and "She-Bop" (plus her amazing cover of Prince's "When U Were Mine"). They didn't have a ton of huge hits, but their follow-up single to "And We Danced" (1985/US#21) was "Day by Day" (1986/US#18) and charted even higher, becoming their only US Top20 hit.

As a high school grad in 1985 I can tell you, without a doubt, It was an amazing time to be alive as a teenager. The feeling you get when hearing these kinds of songs. It was exactly that! Its so hard to put into words but the music nails it perfectly. We knew it even back then. It was a very special time.

The epitome of heartland rock, an opening with mandolin and Melodica, then power chords and a synth riff, and it all blends together.

This is one of those songs that still holds up 40ish years later. It rocks just as hard now but also gives that nostalgic vibe. It’s one that I never skip over when it comes up. My other favorite by them is “Day By Day”, would love to see a reaction to that one.

You guys have talked about missing out on drive-in theaters. At the beginning of the video the guys were jumping into the trunk so they could sneak in and not have to pay to see the movie/show. Great reaction!

Yes! Finally the Hooters. It`s the one I have suggested the most as a new band to discover on this channel waiting and waiting a couple of years. The same goes with the band The Rainmakers, which I also hope will get reactions too as well in the future, but very happy to get The Hooters for now. I do like many songs of them even more than "And We Danced", so I really hope now that you will be curious enough about this band to continue doing their songs. Their cover of "500 Miles" (with additional lyrics) is wonderful, but I`m sure you will also get recommendations for my other favorites, "All You Zombies", "Where Do The Children Go" and "Johnny B". I prefer these to the popular "Satellite", but please do them all. "Give the Music Back" is the hidden gem I personally would have loved to see your reaction to the most, but unfortunately will probably not get so much attention to get recommened enough by others? But hopefully you will hear it some day. You will abosolutely love all the different instruments and the lyrics.

Love this one - simple, innocent song about young romance. "The room is spinning as she whispers my name", it doesn't get any better than that. "Don't Take My Car Out Tonight" is their best song IMO.

To answer your question, Jay: That instrument is called a Melodica, it's often referred to as "A Hooter", hence the name of the band

Oh, this song......such a memory. My husband was a musician with a rock band....my friend Rena's boyfriend was a member of that band. Rena & I went with the band everytime they played. Rena & I would dance almost the entire night together. One night we danced so much & so hard that we were soaking wet with sweat. The next night, Rena was murdered by a heroin addict who broke into her apartment while she was there. About a month later, this song came out. Whenever i hear it, I always have a good cry, then remember the awesome memory of dancing with her, and I dedicate it to her. Love you, Rena.

One of my favourite tracks of all time! The Hooters are an awesome band. "Why can't we have music like this any more?" Exactly. If anybody from a music company watches reaction videos, you should be listening to comments like this. That's why there are far more sales of historic music than up-to-date tracks. People want to listen to decent music in which the band really can play their instruments, don't have to be autotuned and don't build tracks pieced together from a hundred takes. That takes talent, musicianship, song writing skills and stagecraft. The Hooters have all that.

The 1980s were so optimistic. America may never be as optimistic and looking forward to the future as it was in the 80s and this song/video is an example of that optimism.

Btw that instrument is a Mandolin. Diamond Rio who you reacted to yesterday is well known to have it featured in most of their songs. Soooo I remember like it was yesterday. They were an unknown band who SOMEHOW got on the lineup at the Biggest LIVE Concert event in history in the Summer of 85 ... LIVE AID. It's where famously Queen is said to have the greatest live performance of all time. Anyway ... The Hooters got exposure and became pretty big right after because of it with 2 big hits. This being one of them.
