Great, now I will be hearing this in my head until "Come on Eileen" plays somewhere within earshot... hey, how did you miss using this number in your "Behind the Voice Reel"...? I mean. VH1 used it at least as much...

But seriously, thanks for the many many laughs, and oh, by the way, from the Ambassador piece, I think you're at least up to 15's of people...

One of the worst songs ever.

Big Country - a favorite! Too bad that Stuart Adamson had to off himself (in my town, nonetheless!).

Say it with me: Stee-oo-ahhrt.

How can I get this? My current "Cat Scratch Fever's" wearing thin.

I'm a Big Country Member.

Remember?

Oh, I so get this.

Ahhh, truely one of Scotland's greatest bands.

But be sure to let all fledgling bands in on their faux pas; the surest way to become a one hit wonder - name your first album after the best(and probably only good) song on it, which also happens to be the name of your band.

OK, Big Country didn't quite do that but they were close and look what happened to them!
