“I Still Want You” by Del Fuegos

"I Still Want You" was a single the Del Fuegos lifted from Boston, Mass., their second album, cut in the summer of 1985 with Mitchell Froom producing. Dan Zanes wrote it with bassist Tom Lloyd and sings lead, Warren Zanes plays guitar and Woody Giessmann holds down the drums, while Dennis Kirk recorded and mixed it.

The band swore by the rhythm and blues of the 1950s and the soul of the 1960s, not the art rock they'd grown up around in the 1970s, and they wore that allegiance proudly. The album's title was partly a salute to their hometown and partly a borrowing from the Miller Brewing "Made the American Way" TV spots they were appearing in at the time, which opened with those very words.
