You And I. But Which Part?

Someone on here once said the original plan was to only include two Stevie songs on Tango but WB intervened and demanded two. If that's true, I'll bet You and I Part I originally had a place on the album.

I like Part II way better--though I prefer Christine's vocal on it, which is more organic, less "produced" than Lindsey's.

Part II is an atrocity compared to Part I. Part I is enough reason why TITN should be re-released like The White Album, Rumours and Tusk were.

Yes, it's hilarious. Heck, after hearing them, Warner Bros. demanded one.

Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing!

Part 1, by far.

Went against the majority and voted for Pt 2, although I like both songs. Strangely, "You and I, Pt 2" was the first track I heard from TITN; it was played on my local Top 40 station shortly before the album was released. The DJ didn't identify the artist and my first impression was that it was a catchy, bouncy tune and I was pretty sure (but not certain) that it was a track from the upcoming FM album. Not knowing what to expect from TITN, it sounded radically different than anything FM had done up to that point.

I understand the criticisms of Pt 2 and, in truth, the song didn't wear that well after multiple listens. But I still have a fondness for it since it reminds me of that sneak peek I heard on the radio.

I didn't hear Pt 1 at all until about 10 years ago. It's a pleasant song but it feels like a lyric idea that wasn't fully completed, then dressed with glossy production. But I do think it should have been included on TITN, in place of "Caroline" or "Family Man".
