Hilly Michaels "Calling All Girls"

 

(Warner Brothers, 1980) Probably best known for his work with Sparks, Hilly should have, at the very least, become an immortal One Hit Wonder for releasing the title track of this album, which I literally, listened to over 100 times in a week earlier this year.  There is even a decent video, yet the song sold zero copies. I suspect his producer Roy Thomas Baker maybe called up his Queen biddies and told them to use the killer song title, as the zero people who bought the album would not notice. But good on the notorrious RTB for producing some perfect new wave power pop (not the first genre you would associate him with). Listen to this at least 50 times, please.
