I hear it… Susanna Hoffs. Yum.
Prince was smart to pull that song from the Apollonia album and give it to the Bangles. He should have stuck with Susanna. Finally, someone shorter than he is!

As trite at Nickelback? I didn’t say they could do the impossible!

That “liar liar” was one. I thought I remember hearing a real nursery rhyme too. I’ll listen again today.

I do remember the lyrics on Go Square Go – “Here we, here we, here we fucking go” repeated over and over.

Also – Is it just me or do you hear Manic Monday when you listen to Flowers and Football Tops? Give it another listen and before the “woah woah” parts and throw in a “wish it was sunday” and “that’s my fun-day.”

The Bangles were hot.

Ah Oz, you must have just listened to “Cheating Heart”… “liar liar liar liar liar pants on fire”. I wouldn’t call the lyrics trite on the level of Nickelback trite… it’s original enough to me… what I can understand at least!

I’m a sucker for any band that sings in accent, but I’m still struggling to make my way through the album. It’s hard to ignore some of the trite lyrics – especially when they jump into a nursery rhyme.

I can totally hear Ronnie Spector singing “It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry”. Thanks for switching me onto these guys. The record is great.

Very cool idea, Pete. I’m anxious to hear who makes your list.

Regarding this tune… My first reactions was, “God… Not another Cold Play!” Fortunately, things took a turn for the better. I’m not “hooked” with just one listen, but maybe, just maybe, I’ll give ‘em another spin.

Thanks for the heads up!
