It is over.

That was a solid episode, with the one highlight being by Elton.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

It wasn't the You've Got a Friend that I, nor anyone else, was expecting!

I have no memory of the song from the time but it was actually better than I expected.

Probably somewhere in California or Oregon or somewhere. I'm guessing the Wilson Phillips video was filmed in the former. But there might have been a bit of artistic licence with the splicing together of locations.

The Call of the Wendigo wrote:It is decent enough but lacks a strong enough hook.

I agree. And I think the general consensus suggests the same when it comes to these matters. This was also Yazz's last Top 20 hit. We didn't "Treat Her Good" after this single. Sad

They've been terrible for 30 years! In some ways you have to admire them, most people would have given up after a decade of sucking.
