"Samantha" by Diesel

Netherlands rock band Diesel only had one minor hit in the US with "Sausalito Summernight", which sat at #25 in 1981. It is one of the catchiest tunes of that year, with an infectious guitar riff that never escapes your head after hearing it. The success of that song helped propel their record, "Watts In A Tank" to #68 that same year. After this, the band inexplicably dropped off the radar in the US.

"Samantha" is another poppy tune with great harmonies that beg you to sing along. It came from their 1988 effort, which never saw the light of day in the US.
