That guy sure can't hum.  I thought this was gonna be Trio's "Da Da Da I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me".  Lots of holes in this one.  But EvilLyrics fills in the spaces.

Dunno if I've already asked this, but are there at least three distinct recordings of this song?  I've noticed dissimilarities that seem to go beyond remixing.  VHM, at any rate.

sounds like the orig indie-label version, and not the RCA remake. But I always get 'em confused.

J.Geils when they were... commercial.

i don't get them confused, though i wouldn't know which is rca, and which isn't. i only know this one is not as "complex."

I know of 2.  the indie and then the RCA re-do. Are you thinking of the Orange Slice commercial it later became?

Mike's right, and I have both MP3's.  This one is available on Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Hits of the 80's, vol 4 (iirc)

BOS to "A Town Called Malice."  I'm a sucker for that "Lust for Life"/"Touch Me"/"C'Mon Marianne"/"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" groove.  (Is there a name for it?)

Had that tune ever appeared in a year-based set before? I know I've heard it in a couple of Turkey or HFH sets, but I don't recall it in an 82 set before.

BOS1 Town Called Malice. Not too tough to connect the dots from this to Style Council.

 I hadn't thought of that aspect of it, but you're dead on. I always think of it as a Booker T. hommage because of the organ.

BOS2 to "I Burn for You," which over the years has become perhaps my favorite Police tune.  Sting at his sexiest.
