October 28, 20214 yr I've got both of these but a quick perusal of their wikipedias suggests they could be in dispute. Feel free to lmk if i'm a moron for denying the greatness of the rest of their work:
October 28, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, Napoleon said: This song doesn’t have a chorus. The last line is a repeat of the 2nd to last line, but I wouldn’t say that that makes it a chorus. It was written by Tom T. Hall and it was a #1 song Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” doesn’t have a chorus and was a #1 song. I was first introduced to Tom T. Hall in elementary school, because he had an album of songs for kids. “Sneaky Snake” is the first song that comes to mind without looking it up. Lisa Loeb also writes songs for kids and won a Grammy in 2017 or 2018 (?) for her kids album. (“The Disappointing pancake” is probably her most famous kids song.) Coincidence? Abso-fucking-lutely! The story behind the song is fascinating. Tyler does a good job of it on Cocaine and Rhinestones.

October 28, 20214 yr 5 hours ago, TOR said: If Natalie Imbruglia insisted on carnal knowledge, that would be fun. Yeah. Something about the lyric in that song when she says “lying naked on the floor” resonates with me for some reason.
October 28, 20214 yr Oh I went there. On 10/27/2021 at 2:40 PM, jimmyjazz said: I had to look it up -- 7 top 40 singles in the US alone. LMAO. Next up: "Satisfaction" On 10/27/2021 at 2:38 PM, Dbeasy said: Jesus Christ. A rock and roll hall of fame band isn’t a OHW. Good lord.

October 28, 20214 yr 7 hours ago, Underdog said: Frankie Comes To Hollywood - Relax? Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Because it was nearly 30 years ago, we also would have accepted Frankie Went to Hollywood. One hit in the US. A couple more in the UK and elsewhere. I'd probably count them as OHWs.
October 28, 20214 yr 1 hour ago, TOR said: Oh I went there. Just stop posting here. You're an idiot. Roxette had several hits and the only Swedish group that outsold them was ABBA. Edited October 28, 20214 yr by rage-a-holic

October 29, 20214 yr 52 minutes ago, Underdog said: Do we really care if a song was a hit overseas? Abba- blonde or brunette? There is no wrong answer.

October 29, 20214 yr I was a preteen that liked this song a lot. I think the guitarist was a teenager:

October 29, 20214 yr Kim Carnes.....Bette Davis Eyes I'm thinking the part of the line referring "as pure as New York snow" is a ISWYDT for cocaine. It was the 80s ya know.
October 30, 20214 yr In the mid 90s these guys got MTV airplay for this song. I dug it a lot, but they disappeared shortly thereafter without a trace. It wasn't long ago I had that song in my head and I searched for and found a used copy of the CD online, which is a very hard fine. The whole album fucking rocks balls. Seriously good stuff.

Never heard of those dudes but that’s a solid tune.

October 30, 20214 yr The Connell‘s - “74-75” is another good one. Dexter Freebish “Leaving Town” Edited October 30, 20214 yr by ocugolf Grammatical
October 30, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, jimmyjazz said: Yup, it's new to me. Sounds like Fastball being backed by STP. Pretty good comparison. Some of their songs are a bit more grungy, others have a bit of psychedelia to them, they are all smart and display a lot of talent. They were just not grungy enough or alternative enough to fit in with what the industry was selling at that time.
