You probably have not heard of the band 'The Romantics.' They were pretty popular about 20 years ago, in the early eighties. However, if you enjoy classic rock, or have played Guitar Hero much, you probably might be familiar with the bands most memorable hit songs "What I Like About You [you really know how to dance]" and "Talking In Your Sleep."

Anyways, these romantic guys are suing Activision, over Guitar Hero. The beef is over the inclusion of a cover version of the "What I Like About You" song. Due to the difficulty and cost associated with licensing songs, Guitar Hero I and II (but not so much III, from what I've heard) pay money to feature many 'tribute', or cover versions, of hit songs. The songs are the same songs as the original classics, but sung by different bands.

The Romantics' issue with Activision is that the cover version of their song in Guitar Hero is "virtually indistinguishable" from their own, and that this may confuse people trying to track down a CD with the original, Romantics version of the song.

The Romantics hope to stop the sale of Guitar Hero, in addition to receiving bag loads of money, for compensation.
