"Make Me Smile" is more of a hooky hit single, but I'm going for the creepy, crazed melodrama of "Sebastian." Being American, the very idea that there even WERE radio stations playing "You oh so gay with Parisian demands" (and r-r-rolling the R!)as a pop hit seemed like the most bizarre thing ever.

I have to vote for Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me). One of my favourite songs ever.

I don't remember "Sebastian" getting any radio play.

I do remember "Judy Teen" getting tons. First it was Radio Luxembourg, then Radio 1. Then it was released.

I had no idea Mr. Pfunkboy leant in such directions! Excellent.

So "I Believe (Love's a Prima Donna)" was his greatest single to receive zero votes then.

What do you mean, "So"? That's your opinion, right? "So" doesn't enter into it.

one year passes...

I don't know if I'm feeling "Make Me Smile," though it was put to good use in Velvet Goldmine. For my mix I'm considering Mr. Raffles, Death Trip, Ritz, Bed in the Corner and Tumbling Down.
