Well, that's one way to appreciate it.

Vaguely hoping the alligator didn't break the skin. iirc there's some nasty shit in their mouths.

I'm in the questionable position of having heard them before I knew anything about them, when 'Paris' was played pretty much every time during a recent commute. It earwormed in, and I'm afraid I just liked it - not loved it, but I always thought "oh, good, it's that song again".

"Given the current recession, we really ought to build a bear."
"I know, but we're broke."

"The walls fell…" or whatever.

Well, his blood's certainly running cold now.

I think it means "many might think that Centrefold was their only hit, but even if it was (which it wasn't), Geils still wouldn't qualify as a one-hit-wonder as we generally understand it, since he carried on working consistently."

I'd argue that he can be brilliant. Pet Sematary is pretty damn perfect imho.
