Another one hit wonder, The Vapors took this to the top 10 in New Zealand. Urban myth suggests it's a song about masturbation, whatever - it's a very catchy tune with a quasi oriental vibe going on with the guitar lick.
I remain an unrepentant fan of power pop songs like this.
A UK band from Surrey, The Vapors' (using an American spelling to make it appear they were from the US) legacy is this single and two albums before calling it a day in 1982.
Hidden gem: The B side is an okay bit of fun but pales significantly compared to the A side.
