I rarely hear it, but I can very vividly remember the summer that came out and what I was doing/feeling.

Some songs just really do that and it is not always the ones you like...

and in and out of an intense love obsession before I could blink. That is the theme song of that very painful experience. Has nothing to do with liking or not liking it. It is so intertwined with that affair.

I absolutely LOATHE every song that guy ever recorded. He couldn't have been that bad without natural talent for it.

"You make me feel like dancing" is one of the worst songs I've had the unfortunate experience of hearing. I loathe everything he recorded.

Or "I'm Mandy. Fly Me"? They have plenty of God-awful songs. But then they went and recorded "I'm Not in Love" and all the suckiness was erased with that one single.

They used a lot of humor in their music. They were heavily influenced by The Mothers of Invention and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. They were also all world-class musicians and songwriters.
