All those early Police B-sides were cool.

I think this one might actually have been the one I meant to link for revbob. Yeah, the Police had some pretty fun early b-sides and whatnot.

Musically I really like it. I don't think his voice is suited for the music though.

Oof. That one is a stinker.

I took a road trip last weekend and heard Some Guy's Have all the Luck not once, not twice, but seriously THREE times.

Heard this stinker at 7-Eleven this morning. It didn't know how it was by, but it was so bad/annoying that I looked it up when I got home.
Generic bad 80s rock. Enquiring minds want to know did it chart?
Horrid stuff right there.
Does this mean Canada shut the door on it? I'd say good, but it was probably to make room for Cory Hart and Bryan Adams.
What about the UK? Were they bested by Kakajaroo?
Satellite was their only hit here and it's a very good song.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I heard Electric Avenue at the 7-11 yesterday. Best one in a while for me.

I remember buying the 45 of that and Men at Work's "Overkill," as well as Fantastic Four Annual #17, on a trip to Saskatoon, probably during an orthodontist appointment because I think I was with a friend and his mom or dad (he and I often got our braces appointments on the same day to carpool).

I never bought Electric Avenue in any form (sorry Eddy!), but I taped it off the radio several times with an old flatbed tape deck when I was about 11 years old. I've bought Men at Work's whole catalog a couple times over in cassette and CD form - still love it.

My orthodontist jacked my teeth around for 4 years, from 4th to 8th grade, and I can’t even remember the fucker’s name. I’ll never forget that bastard with his little hammer though, pounding spacers between my back teeth to make room for those fucking bands. My head would ache for days. One of the best days of my life was when I got those braces off.

The days after getting them tightened was misery. I've also got scars on the inside of my cheeks from when they wouldn't properly clip the new wire and the ends would cut. Miserable miserable miserable.
