Damn ... me too. A friend and I were making a mix tape together once of older 
(but classic) songs. I suggested this one, and he was stunned. I found out 
later that he'd only ever heard Bananarama's cover. I think it scarred him 
... he never could listen to the original.

I've been thinking about this thread, and didn't think I had much to add. A 
lot of the stuff I like that people would poo-poo, I'm proud to like. No 
problems.

Finally thought of one ... I picked up Rhino's 7CD box set HAVE A NICE 
DECADE: THE 70'S CULTURE BOX at a record convention for about $40. Why? 
Because whether I wanted to admit it or not, I knew (and had fond memories) 
of about 2/3's on the songs on there. No, I don't play it in public, but it's 
kinda fun to pull out once in a while. I'm getting close enough ... maybe 
this is what a music geek's "mid-life crisis" looks like. :-)
