ordinary pop songs and why they're great.

Ah, how time slips by, best laid plans etc AND I should really be doing some proper work so's I look confidently knowledgeable at "a meeting" tomorrow. But then, hey, short people can't pull that one off anyway so why bother?! Let's do song of the day instead. And it is...

"Adult Education" by Hall & Oates. Simply because I've been playing it in the car. It's on a "Greatest.." album and they did do quite a few not bad 'uns including "I Can't Go For That" which bloody Mick Hucknall is currently ripping off in a completely redundant sorta way. But I digress. Was Adult Education ever a single? Does it not count if it wasn't? Dunno. The point is, it's just totally fantastic eighteeez production. And you can whack the volume way up and it still doesn't shatter your (car) speakers*. Just sounds really good. I recommend max volume for the inspired drum-fest after "..that she could graduate to adult kisses". Deee-licious. Watch out for speed cameras though. If you're in a sublimely good (or bad - so long as it's extreme) mood, this will cause you to drive somewhat fast.
* same goes for "When Doves Cry" by Prince.
