Is it as perfect as ABBA's "Dancing Queen?"

No, he hasn't.  Should he?

P.S.  The Perfect Song is "More Today Than Yesterday" by Spiral Starecase.

To me, it was the moment that Mr C-T crossed over in to self-parody -- not a good thing to do on only your second LP.  The reaction at the time from critics was astonished horror (it's one thing to salsa up Billie Holliday, or turn Laura Nyro into a rodeo queen; it's another to dare to mess with a newly minted satanic classic).  The band never really recovered, despite some other fine stuff on that and the next album.

"Lucy you just so damn BAAAD!"

Actually the song we're hearing right now,  "Don't Fear The Reaper" is one of my candidates for perfect song.

Yee Haw!!  Even got the cowbell going.
