   Escape was one of the first albums I ever owned, if not the first. My brother gave it to me, for reasons only he can fathom.

   I think it was my second album, but close.

   Well, you’re a year older than I am, so you had a head start.

   Over at Whatever (India’s source for this treasure), one ‘Adam’ comments that

   This is such an absolutely disgraceful rendition of an incredible song. The spoken word bridge over the effect sounds is an absolute heresy to perhaps the best part of the track. I don’t have to know who Petra Hayden is… but I damn sure will never listen to anything she does again by choice. I hope Steve Perry beats her and that red headed guy into unconsciousness for defaming the song.

   No, Adam. This is an absolutely incredible version of a stupid, worthless song. (And I’m in love with ‘that red headed guy’ wearing India’s favorite color combo.)

   The real problem is that I’ve now had this song (as sung by Steve Perry) earworming me all damn day. There may be long-term neurological consequences.

   I know tonight I’m gonna dream of ‘that red-headed dude’.

   So, listen, baby. I’ve been thinking: How come the boy is always the electronic gadget, and the girl is always the egg? Aren’t we supposed to have come a longer way than that, baby?

   Yeah, and I also notice that the boy is the plug and the girl is the socket. Maybe the people at Jokes Unlimited have never seen “Bend Over, Boyfriend”. Baby.
