It struck me more as a sleazy Donny Osmond singing to his sister Marie. How unfair to Freddie. It struck me more as a sleazy Donny Osmond singing to his sister Marie.

It came on my favorite radio station, and I changed the channel to my second favorite radio station. They, too, were playing Ballerina Girl. I changed it to my station of last resort: Ballerina Girl.

So when I want to hear it, I just listen to the Gwen McCrae version. At least she knows how to stay in tune. I just remember, when I was in junior high, I hated Ballerina Girl.

Nothing in this world will ever convince me that the song isn't vile.

As to Please Don't Go, I actually like the song without liking either of the most popular versions of that song at all. So when I want to hear it, I just listen to the Gwen McCrae version. At least she knows how to stay in tune.

That would explain the Branford shout-out, or how she got on such a much-hyped show, depending on the timing. Wasn't Shanice on the first episode of Leno, along with Billy Crystal?

Yikes. I still think of it as one of the band's recent singles. Which means I'm old. But not nearly as old as they are, and if that's what they looked like 10 years ago, they must be about molded by now. I actually gave up on Aerosmith retroactively after they recorded that horrible Celine Dion cast-off for the asteroid movie. Is Aerosmith's Pink really 10 years old? Yikes.
