Stupid song has been stuck in my head all day long!!!
I’m still angry with them for taking every last shred of soul and brilliance out of The Shocking Blue’s “Venus” and reducing it to disposable pop trash.
True, although “just sing backup” is a bit of an understatement – they basically handle the whole chorus. All 6,000 times it’s sung. (And wasn’t Bananarama originally part of FB3, who spun off into their own group later?)
It’s actually my own fault…I’ve been TiVo’ing VH1 Classic and recording to DVD the music videos I like, and when they played “Ain’t What You Do” I listened to it a few times to make sure it didn’t suck. (The basic rule is, if I can’t listen to a song three times in a row without getting sick of it, it gets dumped.) Then of course I got to hear it a few more times while recording it, and verifying that it recorded okay. So basically I heard that song ten times in a row…and a few hours later, like a large Mexican meal, it came back to haunt me!
Thankfully, a strong dose of Savatage & Ronnie James Dio turned the trick. I’ll have to remember that next time.
Good Heavens! Talk about the cure being worse than the disease!!
