Trivia:

How Sharon Sheeley met Eddie formed the basis of one of a series of wildly successful television advertisements for Levi's 501 jeans in the mid- 1980's. As was to happen with the other adverts' soundtracks, to coincide with this advertisement, Eddie's single, "Come on everybody" was re-released. See more »
