Girl Can't Help It - Journey

The musunderstanding and underappreciation of Journey, mostly by non-musicians, has led to them being widely considered merely an historical cliche. This song, from 1986, is one of the many examples of why they are great. Every part of the song is a hook, and the end part introduces yet another hook on top of it all. Steve Perry's towering vocals are masterful throughout, and perfectly complemented by the harmonies. These guys can play their instruments with the best in the business and the production, which takes hard rock and transforms it into accessible pop, is unparalleled.
