Re: Harry Nilsson
I desperately loved this song when it was released. I would listen to KHJ for hours just to hear it again, but it was never played enough for my tastes. I was less enchanted by the radical Fred Schneider cover version. Have you heard it? It's NOT what ANYBODY would have predicted.
Re: Paul McCartney & Wings
I have no idea what this number sounds like. I literally have no memory of it. But how could any Wings single be weaker than ANY TRACK from "Back To The Egg?!" HOW, I ask you?!
Trust me, Jim-san - this is the weakest Paul McC 45!
Re: Weak Wings
Wow! That is a strong statement, sir!
Go ahead, name a worse Paul McC 45!
