One's brilliant. One's crap. You decide.

'This Is Not a Love Song'by PiL. Only because I've got my dance sorted out for the trumpet part. Bon Jovi song inspires boring dancing.

I've never heard the Bon Jovi song. I remember having (do I still have it?) the 12" single, and it was pretty good, but a friend of mine bought the LP, and the new version was awful with weird blaring horns. I never listened to PiL again after that!

How about "Love Song," the duet Madonna did with Prince on Like a Prayer? Repeated throughout: "This is not a love song."

as regards the original question -- apart from Jody Beth brought up, i.e. -- there's really only one "side"!

(never would've thought i'd feel a little sorry some day for Bon Jovi!)

Feeling sorry for Bon Jovi is impossible. Why couldn't *he* have been the one to have an eighties hair fire disaster instead of Michael Jackson, I ask you.
