Meh. It's too late.
Too late in the day to keep posting or too late to change Mike? The latter thing is correct, I think.
I was much MUCH more excited when I heard Getcha Back on the radio back in 85. With the crashing drums and soaring falsetto.. now THAT got me going. I really thought the Boys were back. How did Getcha Back only go to 20 something and Kokomo to number one? I'll never understand.
Because Kokomo was in a big movie and Getcha Back wasn't? I like Getcha Back much more, even though it is musically less sophisticated and Mike's vocal has a creepier nasality than on Kokomo.
First time I heard Getcha Back on the radio was on a Sunday morning oldies show where new songs were NEVER played, but the DJ made an exception for this one, and yes, it felt like the Boys were back in a big way. I expected that song to go top 10.
