This is Eddie Money's second appearance on ERV; "Think I'm in Love" was posted more than 10 years ago (way back in August 2011). As most readers will know, Money was a star in the late 1970s and 1980s with four platinum LPs and 11 top 40 hits (yes, two of which were in the early 90s).
"I Wanna Go Back" was one of those hits; it reached #14 on the singles chart, while the Can't Hold Back album reached #20 on the album charts. The video is a combination of Money in concert and going back to a high school reunion. At the reunion, he sees (but does not connect with) a mysterious blonde - played by Marilyn Martin, who sang the backing vocals on the track.
As a cool bonus, "I Wanna Go Back" is one of those "I bet you didn't know that it is a cover" songs that we love so much at ERV. The original version was recorded in 1984 by Billy Satellite, an Oakland rock band who never quite made it ... and the original version also has a video (you're welcome):
Cool trivia facts: "I Wanna Go Back" was also covered by Greg Rollie and Ace Frehley.
