"Sleeping My Day Away" by D.A.D.

D.A.D. was one of the dime-a-dozen hairbands trying to stand out from the crowd in 1989. Their debut album, "No Fuel Left For Pilgrims", managed to reach #116 thanks to strong airplay from the single and video, "Sleeping My Day Away". Surprisingly, this catchy anthem didn't gain any traction on the Billboard Top 100 and the band quickly fell off the radar in the US.

A bit of fun trivia:  D.A.D. hails from Denmark and their initials stand for Disneyland After Dark. They had to use the acronym after Disney threatened to sue the band.
