At least it doesn't get played on the radio much these days.

See, the whole reason for this thread is that I'm in Detroit visiting my folks and this piece of sonic lard assaulted me, via rental-car radio, twice over one weekend. I'm not sure what the hell is up with Detroit radio in general: the local modern rock station played Verve Pipe's "Freshmen" at least three times in the 40 cumulative minutes I spent station-surfing. I know they're local boys and all, but I thought this sort of regionality has been wiped out by the Jacks and Steves and other DJ-less whathaveyous.

"Hmmm...Probably the worst vocal harmonies arrangement of all time."

huh? i'd consider the vocals mostly just yur basic radio thirds and all (with some call and response). nothing to write home about and hardly worhty of either side of the superlative spectrum. what am i missing?

The only good thing about this song is the thought of Joe Elliott singing Sting's part and the pure raspture it would create.

I wish The Three Geezers had covered Color Me Badd's "All 4 Love."

Even Rod hated it - I remember him referring to it in an interview as "All For Wad".

Well, Bryan Adams did a good vocal job at least.

May have distracted child-molesters from molesting children for 3 minutes or so.
