And Speaking of Gorgeous...
...here's the Candy Butchers and "You Belong to Me Now."
I have only one question:
Why didn't anybody ever tell me about these guys!!!!!!!!!
Great song writers like Mike remain anonymous, but hacks like Diane Warren rake in the dough.
I have long believed Diane Warren to be, quite literally, Satan.
If for no other reason than that...I hesitate to use the word song...she wrote for ENTERPRISE, which I will say for the record is the worst thing in the history of Western Civilization.
I've been meaning to post something about her somehow for months...thanks for reminding me.
You were too busy playing with the flying monkeys?
ReplyDeleteGuess so...
ReplyDeleteThat song kills me in any case....
Steve,

Go figure.
Can't view it at work, but is Mike Viola still their singer? The first thing to know about Mike is that he did the vocals for The Wonders.
ReplyDeleteI saw him do a solo opening spot for Robyn Hitchcock a few years ago in Seattle. He was quite good.

Steve, that was the song that came to mind when thinking about Warren. It is absolutely atrocious.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't anyone tell me either?
That guy plays with my ubiquitous pal Tony Goddess on occasion...
