I was never a fan of the 80s Canadian band, The Pursuit of Happiness, but after the past 10 days or so, if I never hear them again, it would be too soon.
The Pursuit of Happiness entered the charts in 1986 with their song, "I'm An Adult Now," which I still hear playing at least a couple of times a month on one of Ottawa's rock radio stations. (I dislike that song as much now as I did when it first hit the airwaves.)
Because I'm not a fan of this band, the only songs with which I am familiar are the ones that received the most airplay. The only other song I know, one that I used to actually like to a small degree, is their 1989 son, "She's So Young."
I liked how the song just starts off swinging, with vocals by Moe Burg leading the charge, with the music jumping in right behind him. The chorus is harmoniously backed by sisters Natasha and Tamara Amabile. It's a feel-good song that gets your toe tapping and sticks in your head.
And that's my problem. Sometime, about 10 days ago (at the time of writing this post), this song got into my head, likely after a visit to the washroom at work, where they pipe in this rock station. Once this song entered my head, it never left it.
Whenever I'm idle, or sitting at a computer, or on my smartphone, or driving in my car—which no longer has a radio or sound system—this song enters a continuous loop. (It's playing in my head while I bang out this post!)
They say that misery loves company, and so I'm now passing this tune onto you. Like it or not, here it is.
Happy Monday!
