I actually may listen to it a few more times. I can't believe the other version made the album over this. This sounds like a decent song and the piano is so pretty I can overlook some of the awful lyrics.
Really? I think the piano makes it sound amateurish. And that vocal just drones on. She sounds like she's singing it as she's getting a pedicure because she's already read through People twice and there's nothing better to do.

The master reel version of Greta is quite fabulous, though. Not a big fan of the song, but that version lends it a better sense of fun and frolic instead of the half-baked attempt at ersatz new wave that's on the album. Mindless fluff that is quite aurally pleasing, it is.
