“Dracula’s Tango (Sucker For Your Love)” was a 1982 single by the 1980’s British new wave group Toto Coelo (renamed Total Coelo in the U.S.) masterminded by producer Barry Blue. “Dracula’s Tango (Sucker For Your Love)” was the follow-up to the group’s hit single I Eat Cannibals”. In the UK “Dracula’s Tango” peaked at #54 and in Australia reached the #19 position. In the United States, the single failed to chart making the group a one-hit-wonder in that country.
