i’ve been a fairly regular listener of radioparadise for several years. i really like hearing all sorts of songs ive eithr never heard before, or just not in a long time. the thing i like best is that they play songs from new albums that arent singles. while commercial radio beats each single to a pulp, radioparadise keeps things fresh.
anyway, in the last few weeks ive heard this song several times:
it reminded me of another song so much that i actually thouht it /was/ that other song each time it came on. i just couldnt for the life of me figure out what song i thougt it was. i went around humming it for days, eventually deciding it was an old song by the tea party. i imediately set about systematically goiing through all my cds trying to find it. i coul;ndt find it. i began to think i was crazy.
then i downloaded the tea party discography and tried again, finally finding it after lots of listening:
i wish i had the skills to mash these up because aside from a slight tempo difference, these seem really similar to me. the guitar riff, the drum beat, even going into the chorus seems as if you could just interchange the vocals.
Here’s my little tribute to pop radio, composed from the “best bits” of Ashlee Simpson and Gwen Stefani’s recent releases. I hope it makes your ears bleed as much as it does mine. (And I mean that in a good way; I don’t actually wish harm to fall upon your ears.)
