There have been lots of one hit wonders, right? Lots of songwriters
with one good song in them, that for whatever reason holds your
attention. And then they never come up with anything nearly so good
and eventually become fodder for one of those "where are they now"
specials on VH1. And then there's Toni Basil. Her one hit is pretty
awful, although I suppose we could argue that it's awful in a
memorable way. And it did give us one of "Weird Al"'s better song
parodies, with Mickey transformed into Ricky (Ricardo).
Heck, the video of that song makes up for the relentless pointlessness
(or should that be pointless relentlessness) of Mickey.
But a whole album of Mickey clones? To think of all the
albums that could be using the server space this dreck is taking up.
Surely an hour of silence would be better.
Don't you wish Apple provided per-artist sales figures?
