| Hmmm... I'd have to say... off the top of my head... Everything is Permitted... I do like the lyrics, but the vocals don't do anything for me... it sounds as if Meat didn't get what he was singing?? He sure didn't manage to get into character for this one... Twentieth Century Fox... never been one of my favourites, not sure why... just don't seem to play it... And my least favourite Steinsong ever... NO offence, guys & gals... Two out of Three ain't Bad... It ain't bad... but it also ain't good enough...? I guess it's just one of those songs I can't seem to agree with... I supose these are just songs I don't have a strong emotional connection to... but hey... you can't love em all, right?? oh and I LOVE Getting So Excited... always have, always will! So there! :) -K- > I didn't have to think hard about this: Getting So Excited > by Bonnie Tyler from Faster Than the Speed of Night. Ugh. > Where to even begin with this song?
