add this one to my last list:

JC Chasez - 'Dreaming Of Sex With You'

or whatever it's called. :shifty:

I believe that song's title is "All Day Long I Dream About Sex"-I'll have to ask my sister about it (yes, she has the CD, and I have heard it, and...um...I was actually pleasantly surprised-there's a few decent songs on there. I still like that "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" song. It's just way too catchy).

Before I crawl into a reject box for that admission...a quick list-top 5 Split Enz songs I really like at this time, in no particular order:

1. One Step Ahead (this song is eerie in a cool way)
2. I Hope I Never (I haven't heard a ton of songs that Tim has sung lead on, but out of all the songs of his that I have heard thus far, I think this is my favorite)
3. Message To My Girl (I just cannot get tired of this song)
4. I Got You
5. Dirty Creature (this song is another one of those funky ones, like "Miami", that is so weird, yet very cool)

*Heads off to her reject box now :reject:*
