With Tiran Porter channeling James Jamerson's dancing bass part and strings sweetening the mix, the Doobies captured the song's ebullient swing and buoyant call to, well, arms with enough rock edge to play both sides of the line. There's a lot going on in this first single from The Captain and Me, with Johnston and Simmons laying punchy guitars over the jammy polyrhythms provided by Porter and drummers John Hartman and Michael Hossack.
It also received one of the most unlikely covers from the Doobies' canon when Bananarama took it on in -- and even made a video for it. The first single from What Were Once Vices didn't set the world on fire but has aged very well as a catalog favorite. Johnston's tale of heartbreak and loss pulls all the right strings. And, like Johnston, aren't we all "just trying to find a pretty smile" to "get into?

It topped the Hot in , and that Mississippi moon is still shining brightly.
