If Gorky's didn't refuse to play the double-formatting game, then most of their singles from Patio Song onwards would have made the top 40 with ease.

There was a little story about the Commodores on Decades last night, and they said "Brick House" was sort of one of these (producer told them they needed one more song).

p sad that "Living With A Hernia" appeased them - worst song on the album and possibly Al's all-time worst single
You can go straight to hell.

i will admit that after listening to the album again it rose a bit in my estimation, there's some good lyrics. i'd have to look thru his singles discography to see what could go below it tho.

While on tour in 1968, the band (Ohio Express) found out they had a new single, "Chewy Chewy" when they heard it on the radio and had to deal with fans yelling for a song they didn't know at their concert that night.

Heat of the Moment by Asia!
“It was an afterthought,” Downes told Prog in a new interview. “We were going to lead off with ‘Only Time Will Tell,’ but the label said, ‘Do you have anything else?’ So John [Wetton] and I came up with ‘Heat of the Moment’ in one morning. Literally, the bones of the song were written in maybe a couple of hours.”
