I refuse to believe that anyone genuinely likes this song.


Hi Brett!


EDIT: I refuse to believe that anyone not under the debilitating influence of psychoactive substances genuinely likes this song.

Looking Glass - "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)." This one approaches the sublime.

Hall and Oates - "Sara Smile"

And of course, the entire Carpenters catalog, which is the soft rock equivalent of Plato's dialogues.


Man...I like some weird CRAP...but you guys are out there. Faiz...Eric fucking Carmen?! I might as well throw my lot in with the hippies on Randall's Flaming Lips board.


Track down Carmen's performance of this song on one of those recent Midnight Special DVD's and see if you still have the balls to scoff. Dude was in the Raspberries, and while the song may be schmaltzy, it's a fucking double-chocolate schmaltz with a big fat cherry on top.

"Sara Smile" and "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" are both excellent pop songs.
