It wasn't the REAL Little River Band you were listening to anyway. It was the "faker band" who gets to legally call themselves by the name, but not one Aussie or original band member is left in the band. And, they're based in Nashville. So we real, long-time LRB fans actually have laughed pretty hard at your "critique" here. If you want to hear the REAL Little River Band, check out the music put out by Birtles Shorrock Goble -- the three original vocalists of the band.

I actually thought of you when I watched "Step Brothers" a couple of weeks ago and Will Ferrell wore a Pablo Cruise t-shirt.

Crapmas! I love it!

Or some nut who really hates David Caruso.

Same here. This sounded so pseudo-country to me I could just barf.

And Mary was ordinary? ORDINARY? She was hand-picked by God to be the mother of Jesus. Ordinary? I don't think so, Tim.

And was she in love with Joseph? If so, she would've given it up to him after the virgin birth, but I'm pretty sure Joey died "most chaste". I think she just married the first schmuck who came along who wanted to help out the poor little pregnant chick.

Hey, I tore this song apart and never got past the first line!

At least it was a bit more cheery than that Sarajevo fun fest.

Crapmas. That's what this should be christened. Crapmas music.

We have the same problem. They all leave after Christmas, though. Hang in there, Al.

I'm now officially known as The Alan Parsons Project. Or rather, The Alan Parsons Projects 'cause I have squatters and crack addicts hiding in my house somewhere I think.

I can TOTALLY hear Toby Keith or Carrie Underwood singing this. I get the feeling Elenburg, Helton, Swain, probably pitched this to Shania, Reba, and Trace, and when all three declined, they just gave up. "Fuck it, let's give it to the Little River Band."

I wonder if Firefall's taken ...

I think he's really Glen Shorrock, the LRB's original lead singer. And an Australian, to boot.

That's a pseudonym, Jeff, his real name is Ivan. B Grinch, wreaking his negativity on our own little twisted version of blog Whoville.

Since when did being the lead singer of LRB become the new "Dread Pirate Roberts"? "Good night, mates. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely suck again in the morning."

And not to go all Dave Barry on you, Jason, but "Lesbian Gearshift" would be a killer band name.

I'm cuing up Liz Phair's "Extraordinary" now.

Please tell me that somewhere down the road, maybe on Day 18, you'll be discussing a song titled "Mary's Bastard Baby" ... if the Fairness Doctrine gets reinstated, will someone write a song in which Mary goes to a clinic?

BTW, throw Moses in there, and you've got a Burning Christmas Bush joke. But Karen Carpenter may be too busy for a lesbian affair. If I remember correctly, she has something for the beasts and the children.

I think the Popdose staff should look for band names that are up for grabs and take one. Will we be Ambrosia, Orleans or Pablo Cruise? Or Player? Wait, never mind about Player, since I'm sure that one woman angling for them to get into the Rock Hall probably has secured the rights to that one...

Wow, I guess you showed us. We'd better just cancel the rest of it.

You guys kill me! Thanks for the laughs! Between you two (& the entertaining comments sure to follow) and this song, I will be laughing all day, in contrast to Day 4.

I was sort of disappointed that Graham Russell's voice didn't turn up in the chorus singing "girl you're every woman in the world to me" after all this talk of ordinary girls and carpenters.

I kept waiting for Graham Chapman's voice to interrupt the song and declare that he was stopping it because it was too silly.
