Am I Better Than Phil Spector? Probably, Yes.

This is an incredibly frustrating song. It should be an absolute classic - it's got a killer melody and plays into instant Gen X nostalgia lyrically. But whoever arranged it should be shot out into outer apace - why does that killer piano part from the first verse never return again? I understand taking it away for the 2nd verse - make the listener ache for its return - but this thing was MADE to come shooting out from under the instrumental break...but instead, they just kinda flatly go back to the chorus? Really?

Sigh. The piano part was the hook, my beautiful babies, the piano dammit!!

Hits baby, I'm all about making some HITS goddammit!
