Bleh.

In fact, just about anything by UB-40.

Then again, my reaction may be, at least, in part the result of my being exposed to this track in stupendously heavy rotation on a Top-40 radio station that I was forced to listen to during a summer job. The horror...the horror....

The same reason I for so long couldn't stand Billy Idol's hits, hate Lionel Richie's solo stuff to this day and -- earlier -- couldn't listen to "My Sharona" until a good two decades had passed (by which time it also seemed, and I must emphasize "seemed," a better song).

On second thought, I might also hate UB-40's version of this song simply because it's a bunch of sucky whining that goes on forever, long past any theoretical point of usefulness (this would also be true if it clocked in at 30 seconds).

Neil's cool, though.
