Re: "Only the Lonely" by The Motels

Thanks Badeye, but it is a different song . . .
Probably the reason The Motel's song is not up on the web is that it is primarily a keyboard-based song.

Here is a link to a video of the song on youtube - you will remember it as soon as you hear the first 3 notes.
