BTW, just for the record (as it were), I should say I'm a huge fan of Tommy Tutone, who are unfairly dismissed as one hit wonders IMHO.
I mean -- c'mon. This one, which was actually the band's first Top 40 record, absolutely freaking slays me.
I should add that back in 1980, when I had just switched from playing guitar to bass (as we were getting the Floor Models together) I used to hone my four-string skills by playing along with that. I mean, what a fabulous groove.
In any case, I bring the whole thing up because it leads us, inexorably, to the subject of the weekend's business. To wit:
...and your favorite (or least favorite) post-Elvis pop/rock/soul/folk/country song with numerals in its title is...?
Discuss.
So -- my favorite?
That's from Steppenwolf's (to me) inexplicably underrated sophomore effort; it's a minority opinion, I know, but I think it's one of the greatest hard rock (in the old fashioned sense) albums ever.
And my least favorite?
Hey -- I like a lot of bubblegum stuff from that period. That song, however? I think the word is "yucky." Especially in the contemporary context of the Epstein files. 😎
Alrighty then --- what would YOUR choices be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!!
