"Fool Too Long" was the B-side to that single, and it still rocks with all the grit and attitude that made the genre famous in the first place.

"Fool Too Long" by Rockpile
Rockpile was an English 80s band that paid homage to the roots of 50s rock and roll. The band featured superstars like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, each of whom already earned their own chart hits in the 70s. Despite the boatload of talent, the band scored only a single chart appearance in the US when "Teacher Teacher" landed at #51 in 1981.

"Skin Deep" by Nick Lowe
Nick Lowe is an English singer/songwriter who blended pop, rock, and rockabilly into his eclectic catalogue. In the US, he is largely considered a one-hit wonder thanks to his classic tune "Cruel To Be Kind" (co-written with Ian Gomm) hitting #12 in 1979.
Lowe would see the charts one other time as a solo artist: in 1985, "I Knew The Bride (When She Use To Rock And Roll)" hit #77. Lowe was also a member of Rockpile.
