it's Crock o' Seagals, "Wishing". A perfectly acceptable TOTHC, if a bit mellow.

We were here not long ago (9/28 to be exact) & you all were complaining about "Fascination" being overplayed.  

Hopefully Dave won't repeat any songs from that set, so as to avoid such recriminations.

VHM Burning Down the House.

Agreed, but like many albums, the biggest hit from this one is one of my least favortite songs from it.  Still good though.

HM, Murder by Numbers.  Pretty decent Police song...

WOS to the overplayed "Murder By Numbers."  I'd rather go way left-field and get something like Eddie Rabbitt or the Gap Band.

HM "Holiday Road"

Sorry I missed you & POC at the benefit last night, Rod. I had a series of mishaps getting down there. I hope you had fun and thanks for going!

Alicat's avatar is Nicolette Sheridan if I'm not mistaken. She's available now, according to the gossip columns.

I'm gonna give an Honorable Flashback to the Katrinafied "Belly of the Whale" only because it, like, totally reminds me of, like, my senior year.

Dave probably overplays "Belly Of The Whale", too, but I still like it.  Not many songs can get this much mileage out of a single metaphor without killing it (imho).

And any song that can effectively incorporate bouillabaisse in the lyrics gets extra credit.

Well, it's been quite a while since Dave's done Belly of the Whale, if you ask me.  And the song makes me happy.

Yeah, the benefit was cool, good to see poc perform, as always.  Also, Raszty playing his Uke was cool.

Next time y'all are over at my house I'll have to screen The Sure Thing for you, so you can see what she looked like (as the titular character) when she was 22.

Hey, it's not "Fascination", so I can give a VHM to Human League "Mirror Man".  Maybe someday Dave will play "The Lebanon".  Well, probably that's asking too much.

She went on to be the female lead in the kinda crappy Gary Cole TV show "The Night Caller", about a DJ who solves mysteries. Or something. She was quite fetching back in the day. Not that she's a plate of tripe now- but back then? Yow! So hot you could get a blister.

research reveals,
...Most obviously, there's the Motown sound (Philip revealed in interviews that he was emulating both Levi Stubbs' Get Right Back To Where We Started From and The Jacksons' Triumph - (he even went as far as to try to get Quincy Jones to produce, but later claimed this was a ploy to get Martin Rushent to reduce his fees!),
but there's also a clever manipulation of the riff
from ABBA's "Rock Me", and for League fans only, a
chord sequence lifted from Travelogue's "The
Touchables".
