C or D "Smalltown Boy"

Just downloaded a longer version of this I hadn't heard. Slow, smoldering intro before the pulse comes in and takes off. I quite disagree with Aaron's assertion in the thread quesiton that the backing tracking is mundane. It's very much of its time, but I find the melody so completely haunting that it would move me even if were played on kazoos and tuba. Beautiful, beautiful song.

i really dont know why i said mundane. i think when i was posting as "g" instead of "grossman" i was very new to the board and probably wanted to sound cool and objective, but, really, its easily somewhere on my top ten singles list, and probably one of the few songs that consitently makes me cry (when i hear it at the right moment). the melody is obv. brilliant, and when i said backing track i was probably thinking of the 8th note bassline and the drum machine parts, which are somewhat simple (though not stupid).
