Notable songs off that album were "Blood On Your Money", "Midnight Machine", "What Love Is" and "First Strike". Vocalist Jimi Jamison joined Survivor soon after Cobra disbanded in 1984 and went on to become one of the most recognizable voices of melodic rock throughout the '80s and '90s (including the theme song to 'Baywatch') and is still making music and touring today. Members: Jimi Jamison (vocals), Mandy Meyer (guitar), Jack Holder (guitar), Tommy Keiser (bass), Jeff Klaven (drums). 2. A Japanese Oi! punk band. Formed in 1982, Cobra is widely regarded to be one of the earliest bands in Oi!, but also as one of the most popular Japanese punk bands in the early 1990s, with their "Captain Nippon" being their most popular, reaching number 6 on the Oricon charts.
