Kinda Bread-like, or maybe Manassas:

One of the comments several pages in mentions that Poco did a cover of this song--I assume you knew that and didn't just pull "Poco" out of midair? That's probably what I'm familiar with, as I know I've heard this song somewhere (although probably not this version).
Let's get right to it.

Indeed, Poco did it on their Head Over Heels LP, released in --- TANC! --- 1975.  Paging Ginger...

Have y'all seen this Bush impression yet?  It totally kills.

Princess, I just figured out what your avatar is - is "It's a Free World" worth seeing? It's available on my IFC On Demand channel, along with the new Gus van Sant ("Paranoid Park") and "The Duchess of Langeais"

That's an old Will Ferrell bit that came out before the last election that he's lip-syncing to. Still, he's got it down for the most part.

Rick Springfield's pre-fame band Zoot, giving the "Paranoid" treatment to "Eleanor Rigby".  The mind boggles.

For as much as TBS's Night Tracks played this video, you'd have thought it was a #1 hit:

King, "Love and Pride"

I'm takin' it around the wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-world ...

indeed, a fabulous track -- a UK #2 that was tragically overlooked by pop radio here.  Tho' the alternative station in the NY 'burbs, WLIR, played it very heavily.

Another video from the '80s I hadn't seen in 20 years:

The Other Ones, "Holiday"

Wow, did I adore that when it was out.  Perhaps my favorite kind of music to dance to.

Can we start a campaign right now to get Dave to switch this song in for something we're tired of for the Pride set?

She doesn't speak on matters she's unqualified to speak of: Millie Jackson performing "If Loving You Is Wrong" live in 1984.  Listen all the way to the end for a nice surprise!
