God, you're right. I always thought of Cheap Trick when I heard it, but damn, that does have an Orbison feel to it, don't it?

Yup. I have the Columbia version so I don't know what I lost…

Not at all. Bleu, possessed by the ghost of Roy Orbison, is just a no-brainer.

I have two different versions of that album that have different tracklistings. If I remember correctly, the album was re-released on Columbia a year after its initial release.

Too funny, I'm writing up another song from this album for Pop Goes the World.

Right on the head. Tom T. Hall gets a co-write credit for the Bakkers' misappropriation. Another point worth mentioning is that one of the mixers for the song was MGs guitarist Steve Cropper, a fact I bet he'd rather not have spread around too much now.

Very talented guy, but he plays a type of music that just doesn't get much traction, it seems. It's the lot of the post adolescent power-pop type to live in obscurity, then become a cult phenom after the fact.
