I can just see those boys with Vinnie Barbarino hair plunking down their money to buy the 45, then putting it on the turntable oh-so-nonchalantly while chilling in the den with their Farrah-wannabe girlfriends. (For the record, I firmly believe that Dave Matthews' "Crash Into Me" is the "Tonight's the Night" of the '90s.)

It's not remotely funny, or even especially clever---listening to it again recently, I was shocked at just how awful it is. It makes "Muskrat Love" sound like Mozart. <br><br>Also: I'm convinced that part of the success of "Frampton Comes Alive" is the crowd noise---those people are going so apeshit that it made other people want to buy the record just to see what was so apeshit-worthy about it.
