U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Peak Position No. 53
Backstory: This short lived American rock and power pop group was formed in Woodstock, NY and released their one and only album and charting single off of Todd Rundgren's very own Bearsville Records label. The song made it only about halfway up the chart before falling off. They released one more single, "Some People" off of their one and only album of the exact same name, but it failed to chart. Mick Hodgson and his wife, Nikki (who appears and sings the lead vocals on this track) were the main two members of this group. Oddly, Nikki went on to voice the Berry Godmother character in the Strawberry Shortcake cartoon series in 1983 after the group split, while member Shane Fontayne (real name Mick Barakan) went on to play with Bruce Springsteen's band during the period in which the E-Street Band was disbanded.
The review: This is definitely a pretty good and cutesy little short ditty with nice vocal work from Wills and some cool synth and modulation effects. Should've at least have a minor Top 40 success. Overall, a very fun yet definitely not outstanding or brilliant tune.
Final rating: 7/10
