The History Of Jop Part 11 aka Most of my heroes don't appear on no stamps

1989, the number, another poll - something to do while you count the minutes until POPTIMISM TONIGHT AT THE UNION TAVERN (ahem).

Only EIGHT picks this time because Tone Loc's "Wild Thing" was a duplicate.

Re: BUFFALO STANCE vs LIKE A PRAYER

Um, "this attempt at capital-I importance" is what I should have written.

On a more positive note, both songs do a good job of pulling together disparate song elements into something that feels like a natural pulled-together track. It's just that I way prefer the elements in "Buffalo Stance," the way she really gets the rap - both rap's intensity and its playground chant - and the way that her beautiful melodies have a daydream/playdream quality without drifting off into "dreaminess."
