Great 1986 pop song, whatcha think?



Oh, sometimes I can't make up my mind
I don't know which yellow brick road 2 take
Everybody makes suggestions but the words don't rhyme
Decisions they don't have 2 live by are easy ones 2 make
Why can't they love me 4 what I am
Instead of what they want me 2 be?

CHORUS:
Oh, it's a wonderful day, baby
2night'll be a wonderful night

It's nobody's fault but your own
If U don't do what U want
I ain't claiming no group solution
That'll work 4 everyone
Just a simple little pop psychology that says

CHORUS

If [God] gets in the way (Sha sha, ooh)
Gets a kiss on the cheek, that'll, uh (Sha sha, ooh, wonderful)
That'll make it all right (Wonderful)
Make it make it make it all right, yeah, yeah

CHORUS (Oh)

Darlin', I know what U're like [What?]
And baby, I know what U're worth
Insecurities never make no money
Animosity kills boys and girls, oh (Wonderful day, wonderful)
It's a wonderful day, baby (Wonderful day)
Why can't U see, why can't U see?
Oh, it's a wonderful day, baby (Wonderful day)
T-t-t-t-t-t-2night, 2night'll be a wonderful night (Uh uh)
(Wonderful day, uh uh)
(Wonderful night)
Everybody get up on the one (Uh uh)
I wanna have fun, get down (Wonderful day, uh uh)
(Wonderful night, U know it's gonna be all right)

Wonderful day
Nevertheless, it's a wonderful day, baby, Lord
2night'll be a wonderful night, sing it
Hey, it's a wonderful day, baby
2night, 2night, I promise it'll be all right

Everybody get up on the one
Papa wanna have some fun
Everybody get down on the 3
Party, baby, U and me
Everybody get up on the one
2night we're gonna have some fun
Everybody get down on the 3
Party, mama, U and me, uh
It's a wonderful day, baby
Party, mama, U and me
Everybody

Hmmm, I wonder which boot that would be on? I wouldn't want to listen to some poor-sounding version - I'd rather have one that sounded, oh, I don't know, 'enhanced'...

But yes, it's a nice song with fun lyrics.

Oh come on!..this is a promotion of nothing, as Prince said back in 1997.

I'm just messing with you. I just find your "playing by the rules" sig funny.

"This is a promotion of nothing... except love. Love4oneanother!"

One Good thing about it is The Quality

The Version you can hear a snippet of in UTCM sounds even better.

I guess the version we have wasn't the final finished song.

Yeah, every time I hear this song I think of its usage in UTCM... "Tricky Dean Pork Sausage"... closely followed by "honey don't you know I'll slap the waves out yo hair". That scene is too funny.

I digress... IAWD is a great song. Should have been included on Parade.

M'eh. It's great as a bootleg, but it isn't even upto b-side standard IMO.

Fun track and all, but nothing more - you can see why it wasn't used.

It's good fun track, and fits well with the Dream Factory stuff musically,
but it's hardly a standout track. There are other much more interesting
outtakes from around that period.

Mabye not,It's an instrumental version U hear ..(could be part of a vocal vers)..
but it sounds like an Inst. to me...but hard to tell, with all the different beats and versions of songs u hear in the movie

U must really be bored!

I love that song and it's good 2 know that it was recorded on my birthday. I was only turning 3 years old. LOL! Another cool song in The Vault.

"Why can't they love me 4 what I am
Instead of what they want me 2 be?"
