Top of the Pod
Song I can't stop listening to: "Baby Come Back," the #1 hit by Player from 1978.- I knew the song, but never really paid it any mind. I bought it over the weekend and have listened to it many times. Jammin' on the bus. Gettin' weird looks. How did I not have this song? What a 70's gem!
- I had never in my life heard of Player. Looking them up, I learned that the guy who's played Ridge Forrester on the Bold and the Beautiful for the past 20 years was their bass player (lower left in the photo). This cracks me up.
- Despite how much I enjoy it... dude, how much of a ripoff of Hall and Oates is that song? Did they break in and steal the notes from Darryl Hall's bedside table while Oates was supposed to be standing guard? The lead singer even copies one of Hall's signature voice maneuvers (though Player Dude's voice pales in comparison).
