I think you have the wrong title here. I’m guessing you’re talking about a Tim Hardin song “Reason to Believe” that Rod covered:

If I listened/ long enough to you

I’d find a way/ to believe that it’s all true…

Someone like you/ makes it hard to live without/ somebody else

someone like you/ makes it easy to give/ never thinking about myself

Bland. Stick with the Troggs’ original for this one.

Needlessly bombastic. Dolly Parton’s understated original conveys the emotion much better.

I could do without 5 of these tracks (the fake French opener and closer, one note joke “Boom”, “Leggy Blonde” [same joke is done better in “The Most Beautiful Girl”] and “The Prince of Parties”) but the rest are inspired.

“Think about It” skews “message” pop songs by wondering why sneakers still cost so much if they’re made by little kids in sweatshops while “Most Beautiful..” is damning with faint praise (“You’re probably even in the top 3 when you’re on the street…depending on the street”) and “Business Time” is easily the highlight, lampooning married sex.

Thanks, New Zealand, for sharing these guys with us Yanks….

I fixed the title on this. It’s not “Jack Black” it’s him and a friend Kyle Gass forming the duo Tenacious D. and the song isn’t called “Greatest Song in the World” it’s called “Tribute” because, as the lyric says, “This is not the greatest song in the world, no, this is just a tribute…”

Unjustly undersung. Not enough people know about this one. Great cover of Men at Work’s “Overkill”.

Still deciding if I “like” or “love” this overall. Best tracks on here are the reworked “black” gospel numbers..weakest seem to be the reworked CCM ones (“Heart of Worship”,“Here I Am to Worship”).

Not outright awful but mostly unremarkable. “California Justice” is probably the most interesting tune here.

This one is a definite grower. Last time I listened to it was in 2006, called it “Wishy-washy”. Still feel “wishy-washy” about it in 2009 but this time I liked “Isolation” and “Atrocity Exhibition” quite a bit so there’s a possibility I could still grow to like this.

This was a #4 R&B hit and #28 pop when it was released in 1973. It comes from the IDENTIFYYOURSELF album.
