Trivia question: 
OK, I'm not losing sleep over this but I would love to know the 
answer. Every time I listen to "No Hard Feelings" I'm left wondering 
who is "The Tooth".  In a nutshell, the song chronicles the reason 
for Carmen's split with the Raspberries. Thus near the song's end 
Eric sings "So tomorrow come what may, looks like it's Ricky and the 
Tooth". I assume "Ricky" is the singer but who is the Tooth?  Every 
time I hear this song I'm left wondering who he is per it's such an 
autobiographical song. Anyone help?

The best bridge in pop music history is in "I Can See Clearly Now", 
the
pop-reggae hit by Johnny Nash that was #1 for four weeks back in 1972 
and
has been covered numerous times since.

@@@I'd add, the most painful song ever to be subjected to a 
commercial. That dam Windex commercial darn near killed a great song.

Oh, and Anton Barbeau was really great, he did my
favorite song of his, "Octagon" and his banter was
truly awesome.  

Ah Anna, I love "Octagon". It's my favorite song by Anton by a LONG 
shot. What is it about those Yellow Pills discs? Jordan Oakes has an 
ear, no? To my ears there are many songs that are on YP and are among 
the finest of the singer's repertoire (and some of these are 
exclusively on YP).

Some that come to mind as my fav by the artist or near fav.. . 

"Speed Kills": Adam Schmidt (only on YP but one of my favs)
"Is it any Wonder": Cowsills (YES, my fav but later released on 
Global)
"Rest up": Jim Basnight (I always dug this song but never found much 
else I liked as well).
"Disarray": Tommy Keene (YP only song. I may be in minority but it's 
in my Top 10 Keene songs)
"Get to know you": Vandalias (great non album track)
Michael Guthrie's track (the name escapes me but one of the better 
one's I've heard by him. Granted I only have "Direct Hits"))
"Blue Summer": Cherry Twister (YP only right? My fav CT song)
"Show and Tell": Richard Barone (Better then most of his solo work to 
my ears)

There are others too I could come up with I'm sure (IMO)


This is not always the case naturally. To my ears, Scott Miller of 
the Loud Family didn't give Jordan one of his many gems.
Anyway, I have not listened to them in a long time, I may need to 
pull them out again.
