Oh no, it seems an esoteric or evil song. It's really scary! (I should add it to the paranormal thread). Now I'm afraid to go out on the balcony in fear of being abducted by aliens

Yeah, "Paper doll" is a masterpiece compared to this.......... O__O

If the band had any sense at all, collectively or otherwise, it would be thoroughly ashamed at having allowed "Mic the Screecher" onto the 2004 reissue.

The idea that this pointless, idiotic, and extremely annoying length of tape was included in the track list is easily the saddest, stupidest decision I can ever remember the band or its reps making.

To think that another unused Rumours track was sacrificed for this is a howler. They gave us less than 60 seconds of the tantalizing, mysterious "Butter Cookie" to make room for "Mic the Screecher"? Are you KIDDING ME?!

That ONE MOVE takes the 2004 reissue out of the realm of Classic and drags it down into that of Severely Botched. Someone's head should have rolled for it; someone's ass should have been canned.

I don't neccessary think that the songs we don't like are the ones that FM regret recording. For all we know, the gang might consider Silver Girl, Family Man, and Only Over You some of their favorites.

I totally agree with you, David: another scary track and, in this case, pointless too! With all due respect for our fantastics FM, some songs are just unlistenable. Of course, as Mac said, maybe the same songs we don't like aren't necessarily the ones they regret recording. Can you imagine if one of them, maybe Chris, regrets having recorded a masterpiece such as "You make loving fun"? O_o
Anyway I just wonder what was thinking about our "paranormal friend" Mick when he had the idea for that song, back in 1976?

Yes and vice versa, which is why we had the discussion of fans liking IDWTK, but Stevie maybe not liking it so much.

As for Only Over You, wouldn't be surprised that anyone considered it a favorite.

See that's what I wonder too. If perhaps the songs about the affairs and the songs about each other, that today they regret writing the song or just don't like to perform it.. i.e FM doing GYOW... just has to be a little awkward...!

Right. And I didn't ask what songs do you guys think they should regret, though it's interesting to know fans opinions. But I ask what songs did they actually regret, I mean if there's any interview, article, etc. where some of them said Hey, including this song was a mistake. I guess the best approach to that was whay I've read about IDWK

It's a little bit difficult to find out, but we'll try checking all the articles about FM. However I'm not sure they ever released an interview saying they regret one of their songs..of course they must regret some of them, specially the songs about each other's affairs (as MacSB wrote), but maybe they'll never talk about it publicly

Family Man bad? No way! I think Lindsey was talking about his family and how their words of wisdom and love stick with him wherever he goes. At least that's what I think when I hear him singing the lyrics. Also, the spanish guitar captures the feeling of walking along a road going on your journey through life and being alone. When his voice is low and distorted when he says "a family man", that should've been left out.

"Only Over You" is a great song. Especially when Christine sings "and it's only over you". That whole song is airy and dreamy, it's like she's whispering a feeling.

"Welcome To The Room Sara" and "When I see You Again" should have either been left off of TITN or arranged differently. Same with "Empire State" and "You And I, Part II" (part I is good but was a single).

This is what I was referring to when I wrote that the song is scary

Not the song itself, but the music and the special effects in it. Even if I don't like the song, the lyrics is good anyway!

I agree with you, and maybe a lot of us reflect themselves in this song or in "Over my head", for example.

"When I see you again" it's so different from the other songs in TITN. It's very sweet and reminds me of "Songbird" in the Rumours album: a way to change and make a more versatile album, suitable for all musical tastes.
