I never understood why so many people despise this song  It's such a sweet,summery song.I recall SuperNova (remember her?) admitting that she likes it.We're probably the only two Orgers who like it,lol. | |

Keep in mind that I never paid attention to the lyrics, which might make it kinda obvious what it's about. | |

Just that u could get a chart that would include Hall and oates, heart, Manilow, Marvin, Diana, Brothers Johnson, boz scaggs, is a testament to the diversity of radio back then and the fact of how much better we were before MTV took over.

I don't believe it. Had the list included The Carpenters' take on Ticket to Ride I would've fessed up, but it doesn't. | |

I felt indifferent about this song for the longest time until the TV show 'Arrested Development' explained what it was all about. Now I like it.
Anyone see that episode? | |

Songs about animals. 
 Although, I'll bet there are few of those "other" animal songs out there as well.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Me and You And A Dog Named Boo. Not if that don't sound like a weird combo.
