Speaker for the Diodes - Name That (other) Tune

02:07 am - Name That (other) Tune

realinterrobang and I (since she phoned me to see whether I knew the answer) are being driven crazy by a familar riff in a song neither us us previously knew. Worse, it's such a familiar riff that we know it's from a song that was fairly popular, and we are both remembering the same instrumentation coming out of the bridge, but can't quite get all the way there though it feels like the answer is in front of us.

So ... who recognizes the riff used as the foundation for this clip (.ogg format)?

[Edit: maugorn has identified the source as "Cherry Cherry" by Neil Diamond. realinterrobang agrees. I think the song I had in mind was "What I Like About You" by The Romantics, which I'm more familiar with than "Cherry Cherry", but The Romantics clearly got it from Diamond, so Maug is still right. I haven't found the version of either that matches the instrumentation in my head, but it's the right lick.]
