Under her spell was such a great pop song. If he had never released that i would have been saying how he should have released it as that would have been a huge hit for him :lol: Its a complete mystery to me why that didn't do better for him.

Did someone post Seek City Sometimes, by the Buzzcocks, because I think it's one of their best. I mean, it was. Such a good one.

He seriously released that as a single?!?!?! Then I am shocked that it was not number 1. Such a dear, sweet song. So far removed from all that mysogynistic stuff from his youth. All about how you can never win with birds, but you can keep on trying and you'll keep on losing. I feel like he learned that with age. Some never do.

No it just missed the number one spot. It got to number 74 or something like that! :grin:
