And yea, no to Cheaper Than Free (although again, it might not have been a bad song if the lyrics were different).

And then I personally don't like Everybody Loves You because of the terrible Chorus and Dave's distracting vocal and Stevie's feigned British accent. But otherwise, it could have been a nice song.

Cheaper Than Free is just beyond bad. It couldn't be worse if Al Yankovich had penned those lyrics.

Michele

see, disregarding the lyrics (or lack thereof, especially in the case of cheaper than free, although i can completely understand how that can be annoying), i find the music and duet singing in cheaper than free and everybody loves you soothing. duet with deeper male voice even reminds me a tiny bit of twisted duet with LB.

but the music in italian summer just sounds like beyond bad european summer festival style syrupy schmaltz music. i can't stand it. (although, and i said it before, i have a tiny bit of suspicion that may have been what DS has been going for.)
