today's earworm
is a song from 1982 about which Wikipedia says: "Though they are not shown in the video, the song features Max Crook from Del Shannon's band and Paul Shaffer (who at the time was bandleader and sidekick on Late Night with David Letterman) playing a synthesizer solo based on Del Shannon's "Runaway"."
A young Jon Bon Jovi played guitar for the group very briefly the next year before they went on to score their biggest US hit in 1984. They ended up breaking up shortly thereafter.
Name the song and/or the group.

I listened to Nirvana's "unplugged" version this morning at the gym.
