122: I Said Goodbye to My Own Sanity

122. "I Don't Mind At All" by Bourgeois Tagg {#38; 10/87} [iTunes? No. (That's right, I said, "No.")] {YouTube: I Don't Mind At All. (The video looks like something "Afterglow" or some other Mormon-pop or Christian-rock band would put together. Or maybe John Tesh.) (Ha! I bet you hadn't thought about John Tesh for at least four months before I just mentioned his name. And now, he's all you'll think about for the rest of the day.) (Tesh!)}

This song definitely falls into the "I don't know why I like it so much, but I do" category. It wasn't a bigg hit, only making it to #38 on the charts. (You can't tesh me there were 37 better songs than this in late 1987!) It does have a very good sing-along-ability factor, but other than that I can't really explain my fondness for it.

Maybe I like them because the name of the group brings to mind "bourgeois pig," which makes me think of Karl Marx, the Russian revolution, and the song "Rasputin" by Boney M. Maybe I like them because of the superfluous second "g" in "Tagg." Or maybe it's just because several years ago I said goodbye to my own sanity. And I don't mind at all.

Or maybe it's the Tesh factor.

COMING UP TESH: You say "yes." I say "no."
