"A Spy In The House Of Love" by The dB's

One of the wonders of the 80s is why The dB's (which stands for decibels according to the name of their first album) didn't have a charting hit. The popular indie band had a quirky style like They Might Be Giants, but the pop sensibilities of Squeeze. Their initial albums garnered plenty of critical acclaim, but it did not translate into album sales or charting singles. 

By the band's third effort, Chris Stamey left and Peter Holsapple stepped up to the mic and became the principle guitarist and songwriter. "Like This" was released in 1984 and featured the gem of song called "A Spy In The House Of Love".

The dB's would crack the Top 200 with their final album of the 80s, "The Sound Of Music", which hit #171 in 1987. The band reunited back in 2005 and released an excellent comeback record in 2012 called "Falling Off The Sky".
