Their voice is alarmingly Hannonesque, but I get the very strong feeling it's not.. Makes me think of the 6ths.

Irony is SOOOOOOO September 10th.

Thanks, Jeff -- now I don't have to listen to the track to find out what it is.

Surprised at selecting that one from the record, though . . .

Oh, by the way, Colin: why specifically do you regard this as "irony?" I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I think it's worth discussing what specifically makes you read this as ironic.

― Nitsuh, Friday, 7 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Any cover of a Harpo tune (or a tune by the Middle of the Road) should be presumed ironic until proven otherwise.

― Colin Meeder, Friday, 7 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

It's the "You're So Vain" of '98! Odd choice, though, I agree with Nitsuh. Still very good, of course.

― Arthur, Friday, 7 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, I never realized they didn't write it! Who's this Harpo guy?

― Arthur, Friday, 7 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I really loved the original about 25 years ago. Smash hit in Germany. Harpo is from the same country as Abba and Roxette. More or less the same crap (no offense intended).
