Monday Pop: “Good Thing”
“She Drives Me Crazy” is fine as far as it goes, and, in the minds of classic hits radio, it’s Fine Young Cannibals’ only record. But they had another hit:
It’s got a ton more drive to it than “Crazy” — more energetic, more original, better vocal, and just a better record. I like the piano break — nice to hear an actual piano on an ’80s hit — and the lines “She came back/I was so happy that I didn’t ask….” The whole history of a silly relationship, right there.

Honestly, I forgot how much fun these guys were to listen to
and of course watch. I never paid much attention to this song,
preferring things like Simple Minds instead, but this was fun.
Imho you cannot go wrong with a piano break, ever
Thanks Bridey :)
