I don't think I would've guessed after going through college in the early 90s where you couldn't go to a party without hearing "Joy and Pain" or "Brass Monkey" or likely both, that they'd done so miserably on the charts when they first came out.

If you have ever worked a job featuring Muzak, you're way, way, WAY familiar with Basia SomethingPolishHardToPronounce. You're also familiar with the incomprehensibility of her lyrics at times… F'rinstance…

Baby, you're mine
You are blowing my mind
We are two of a kind
Baby, (you'll be? Yuri? Youee? Whooeee?) be mine!

Still, it was easier to take than the 10,000th playing of the Will To Power “Baby, I Love Your Way / Freebird” medley.

However, X-acto is a brand name, like Band-Aid, and that meant Toni would've needed to pay for rights... Which she didn't... Which makes the song horrible AND makes Toni a cheapskate.

I can imagine a hip kindergarten teacher in 1983 supplementing her students' learning of the alphabet with this song.
