The Hooters first gained major commercial success in the United States in the mid-1980s due to heavy radio airplay and MTV rotation of several songs, including "All You Zombies," "Day by Day," "And We Danced," and "Where Do the Children Go."[1] The band played at the Live Aid benefit concert in Philadelphia in 1985.[2] In Europe, the Hooters had success with the singles "All You Zombies" and "Johnny B," but the band's breakthrough across Europe came with the single "Satellite."
