You can sing the words of "She walks in beauty," by Lord Byron, to the same tune, so, classic.

Love the snare sound. But I can do without the mannered falsetto. YMMV.

FYC are all about the mannered falsetto.

I'm still flabbergasted that these guys scored two # 1 singles and a #1 album. Anyway, there's better stuff on the album, but not much better.

I think Classic because I can imitate his voice on this song pretty well.

I much prefer their classic-soulful stuff.

Love, love, love their Buzzcocks and Elvis covers.

That singer was one wierd lookin' cat. CLASSIC!

no joke, this is my least favorite song of all time. I had to be about 6 when it came out and I hated it then. His vocals make me shudder, no man should be able to make that sound.

How do you feel about their other songs?

― Alex in NYC....who was 22 when this song came out (vassifer), Monday, 27 June 2005 19:28 (eighteen years ago) link

haven't bothered to give them a second chance since that particular single. Should I?

It's really too bad that he couldn't sing live.

I never thought "She Drives Me Crazy" was particular indicative of them, but if it's the man's voice that bugs you, I'd steer clear.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 27 June 2005 19:40 (eighteen years ago) link

For a long time I couldn't work out if he was singing "She drives me crazy / Like no one can," or "Her long blonde hair." Perhaps I still can't.

Never liked it, probably never will.

So this is what college kids were listening to back in that zany October of 1989.

Any faux Motown/Stax/English Beat bands on the college charts these days?

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 01:11 (eighteen years ago) link

His vocals make me shudder, no man should be able to make that sound.

Including H Wayne Casey (KC & The Sunshine Band)?

Always forget that Prince's boy David Z was involved.

I drilled off centre holes in my 7" of this. Perhaps my greatest musical achievement.

Good Thing is a *criminally* under rated track.

five years pass...

phil collins, little richard, joan lunden, carol alt, and the nu-Muppet voices of Kermit & Piggy among many other random people make appearances in this video
this is not how i remember 1994 at all
must have been some sort of tv network tie-in or something?

Classic, but I prefer 'Don't Look Back' and 'I'm Not The Man I Used To Be'

― Gholdfish Killah (Turrican), Wednesday, 10 January 2018 18:32 (six years ago) link

The vocals of this song totally rule... not so much a fan of the rest
