You couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting "She Drives Me Crazy" in '89. To make it worse- the song bugs after awhile. I guess that's what I meant by "overplayed" as opposed to "Katrinafied".


They were both #1 hits, but in 18 sets I surveyed last year, the score was 12 Good Things & 4 She Drives Me Crazys, and only 2 FYC-free sets.

And those 4 times? Were like a dagger in my ear.

I like brocoli best of all the green veggies.


For some reason, I like broccoli a lot more after hearing Bush's comment.    :)

Everyone pull out the lighters for "When I See You Smile," a lazy vocal from Mr. Waite that nevertheless shot Bad English to #1.  (The preceding single, "Forget Me Not," was far superior, and so of course it tanked at #45 or thereabouts.)

So I missed "She Drives Me Crazy" (one of my least favorites of all time) and Lou's "Dirty Boulevard," eh?  What else?  (I just got off the phone, was interviewing Barry Scott of the Lost 45s radio show for this Voice piece.  Very nice guy, and he loves being corrected by people who listen to his show with Whitburn in hand.)

VHM to Rundgren and Womack, "For the Want of a Nail," just for that drawn-out opening.  Is he imitating Robert Palmer a bit there?

This song would be better if, like, Poison had done it.

No, you missed "Good Thing". But, I mentioned I was glad it wasn't the other overplayed (in '89) one ("She Drives Me Crazy") becuase I hate that song, too.

But, then Mshray wanted to make sure I totally understoof that "Good Thing" was the official Katrina and "She Drives Me Crazy" was indeed hardly ever played on 10at10. And I said "OK".

GT is the more overplayed of the two, no doubt, but SDMC has earned a Katrina status all its own.  And, I would suggest, HFH status (though I'm apparently alone in that camp).

Oh, to hear "Batdance" or "BUffalo Stance" ...

Near-WOS to "Let the Day Begin," since I'm too cynical to enjoy "Everything Is Beautiful" message songs.
