She's obscene in all the right places

"You just wanna be weird
You're just hopin' that someone will notice you
Go ahead and be weird
'Cause we know it's just a phase you're goin' through
You're so concerned with being cool
You're so concerned with being hip
And every move is for effect
But just how strange can you get
You haven't scratched the surface yet
Go ahead and be weird
Dye your hair so it will match your purple shoes
We all know that you're weird
We read your fashion statement in the village news

"The stage is set
The lights are low
Soft music on the radio
The sheets are fresh
The wine is cold
And nights like this
Were made for love
And now there is only one thing wrong
I wonder why I'm all alone
Oh, I wish I was in love tonight
Then everything would be alright
With someone to love
I take a look at all I've got
It doesn't really mean a lot
With no one to love
I can't help but fantasize
Of looking into hungry eyes
Instead of all this empty space
I reach out and touch his face
We take our time, no need to rush
That's the way I wish I was"#8 ~ "Wish I Was In Love Tonight"Points: 34

"You are a stranger, a stranger to me
One more face without a history
I've been so lonely, so lonely too long
That tonight all my inhibitions are gone
And you got no lines that I haven't heard
Anyway, a kiss is worth a thousand words
Just make it feel better
Make it feel better
Tell me that you understand
Make it feel better, make it feel better
Baby I know you can, I know you can
Modern life is like a battle ground
All the pressures tend to wear you down
oh, sometimes I feel like I'm in shock
Maybe baby you could be my rock
It's a national obsession to find a cure

Good start, I actually love "Popular Girl" but I knew it'd be out first or second. I'm just glad the only awful track was right behind it.
"Wish i Was In Love Tonight" is a good one, I was expecting it to be out in the bottom half though, most of the other songs are more memorable, other than the song that came just after haha
"Make It Feel Better" is boring, i actually never remember it when thinking of this album.

Ooo, this started!! I thought "Popular Girl" was pretty bad, so it was an easy last place for me. Glad we got that right. "(You just Want To Be) Weird" is a quirky song for sure, but I enjoyed its personality! I do not remember any of the others, so it makes sense they were all in my back half  I'll give them another listen here in a little bit! |

"You make all the right moves
And you talk so smooth
And you look like a winner to me
With your sure-shot savvy, you're my heart's desire
And I'm happy to be standing in your line of fire
You don't miss
You don't miss
With your right-on-the-money-honey kiss
You don't miss
You don't miss
And you're love is a direct hit

"From the highest highs
To the lowest lows
We've gone as far as two can go
And we'll never, never be the same
And we fought to keep our love alive
When it was hard enough just to survive
And we'll never, never be the same
Looking at old photographs
Can you believe we dressed like that
Two crazy kids that nobody could tame
Would we do it all again
If someone had told us then
That we'd never, never be the same
Though we can't go back again
We always will remember when
All the world was new and kinda strange
Yes we always loved a good surprise
Now there's nothin' that we haven't tried

"Surely you can sit down a while
Maybe you can even smile
And I'll try to pretend
That you love me again
But it might take me a little while
Soon you'll be holding me tight
You'll know when the moment is right
I was broken into
It was all because of you
But baby I need you tonight
It ain't easy to be easy you know
You're the one who took my heart and my soul
Walked away and left me out of control

"It's a potentially dangerous situation
Baby you're my kind of trouble
Livin' ain't livin' if you don't take risks
Can't you feel the magic whenever we kiss
Oh we'd both be crazy
To turn our backs on a feelin' like this
Some temptation
You should never resist
Oh baby let's get crazy
Let's get crazy
We just can't turn our backs on a feelin' like this
We're just like two gamblers with nothing to lose
Taking chances and we're playing with fire
But the night offers something that we can't refuse
And it's more fun when the stakes are higher
It's much too strong for us to fight
And we can't go wrong with a feelin' this right"#3 ~ "Let’s Get Crazy"Points: 26

I love Janie Fricke's version of "It Ain't Easy Bein' Easy" but something about Pam's cover doesn't work well with me. Still a strong song but I liked the other 7 songs better.

I kinda feel like "Killer Comfort" vs "Love Is Sneakin' Up On You" is the obvious top 2. Weren't they the two singles?

Tonight I need your super tough lovin' instead

"First time that you caught my eye
I said to myself that guy is a little bit gun shy
Gonna have to be sly
I knew that it would be wrong
If I came on too strong
Gonna treat it with kid gloves
You're so suspicious of love
Oh love is sneaking up on you
It's gonna get you before I'm through
My heart's learned a trick or two
And love is sneaking up on you

I'll act like I don't care
Knowing that you're not immune

I really had no idea what to expect with this album, but I'm glad to see "Love Is Sneakin’ Up On You" come out as the winner as it was also my initial top ranking song. In the end, though, I ended up putting "It Ain’t Easy Bein’ Easy" as it being both a great song and one of my favorites from Janie Fricke. And although I didn't put it in my top five, "You Don't Miss" was a fun discovery as it's kind of a catchy tune. "Popular Girl" was the only correct choice to leave first and as I privately mentioned to castleoblivion26 this sounds like a not-so-good version of "Hey Mickey" lol. |

I'm glad that "Love Is Sneakin' Up On You" won. To be honest, the entire album was new to me before the rankdown, and I wasn't a huge fan of it overall. LISUOY is pretty good though, and I'm glad that it pulled it off.
