Today’s video of the day is Toto Coelo – "Dracula’s Tango (Sucker For Your Love)" released in 1982.
“Dracula’s Tango (Sucker for Your Love)” brings the bright, theatrical energy that defined Toto Coelo. The British group formed in the early 1980s and quickly gained attention for bold visuals and catchy hooks. Their mix of new wave and pop helped them stand out in a crowded scene. “Dracula’s Tango” arrived in 1982 during their early rise and showed their playful side. Its campy vampire theme matched their colorful style and set the tone for later releases.
The song appears on the compilation album I Eat Cannibals & Other Tasty Trax. This collection highlights their strongest singles, including their breakout hit “I Eat Cannibals.” While “Dracula’s Tango” leaned into humor and gothic fun, other tracks featured more straight-ahead pop energy. However, the song still fit the band’s core formula. It used sharp rhythms, strong harmonies, and a bright hook. As a result, it linked well with the rest of their catalog and helped round out the album’s quirky appeal.
The video embraces dramatic costumes, quick cuts, and a playful horror vibe. Its stylized look reflects the band’s love of character-driven visuals. Moreover, it keeps the song’s pace tight with expressive choreography and bold set pieces. Fans often return to the video during the Halloween season. Still, it works year-round as a showcase for Toto Coelo’s unique charm. Today it stands as one of their most memorable moments and a key piece of early 1980s new wave pop culture.
