Great track! Cool to learn that Josie is more than just a novelty hit.

Is the rest of "From the Hip" worth checking out?

It's okay, but "Convertible Music" is much better - both are available on iTunes.

Not surprising...the cover art's better on that one too. Thanks!

What's interesting is the original Looking Glass version is spelled differently: "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne." I wonder why they changed it for the remake?

Somewhat Fascinating Side Note:

The Go-Go's used to perform this song (badly) in their early punk days.

"Johnny, Are You Queer," yes, but not "Jimmy Loves Maryann," as far as I know.

IRS stopped the Go-Go's from recording "Johnny" first because they were afraid of the controversy!

yes, I meant to say it was "Johnny" that they performed. There's a low quality live version on Return To The Valley Of The Go-Go's.
