... And a few random comments on some of the tracks:
Track #4: You know your singing group is lackluster when you have to hire an outside singer (Rod Stewart) to have a hit.
Track #9: A great pair of interlocked tracks from Springfield's second studio album, 1973's Comic Book Heroes. Whenever I listen, I'd swear that the second part, "I'm Your Superman," is like half a musical step lower than the guitar intro track.
Track #13: This is not only a fun disco song -- of which there are very few, in my opinion -- but a fine statement of human rights and free thoughts
The best of business, In the line of business, Is to mind your business --
So mind your business, If you got no business, Then make it your business
To leave other people's business alone!
To each his own, that's my philosophy!
Track #17: This song is of course, the original from which Toni Basil fashioned her version, "Mickey."
Track #18: You know that half of Barnes & Barnes is Bill Mumy, the sci-fi star?
Track #22: From 1992, the wonderful conceit of the band Big Daddy's Sgt Pepper's is that it's performed by a 1950s doo-wop band that has just escaped from a media-free captivity for several decades. Each song on this frabjous album is performed in a various 1950s pop trope. The melding of the album's final song with Buddy Holly's legend is super-stupendous.
