- Interesting. For a while now I've been compiling a list of
- songs I think of as "An Exercise In Contrasts." From songs
- with the exact same concept [wanting it to rain so no one
- can tell you're crying -- _Crying In The Rain_ by A-Ha and _I
- Wish It Would Rain_ by Little Caesar] to different takes
- on the same subject [child abuse; _Luka_ by Suzanne Vega and
- _Hell Is For Children_ by Pat Benatar] to frankly opposite
- views [finding the perfect partner; _Close Enough To Perfect_
- by Alabama, and _Good Enough For Now_ by "Weird Al" Yankovic]
- to the same song interpreted by different performers [_Touch
- Me When We're Dancing_ by The Carpenters and Alabama].
-
- This tape should be interesting if/when I ever actually
- put it together. ;-{)##]
