the story behind this
song and this 'band' (one guy, wasn't it?) is a
terribly sad one. for several months, people would come into
cd stores and beg for the single '
i've been downhearted baby,' only to be told no such
single existed.
primitive radio gods released an
album after the song had been getting
radio play for quite some time. and the album
sucked. it was horrible. so
prospective customers were invited to purchase a
soundtrack (
the cable guy) on which the song appeared, and they did, and were happy. then everyone got
sick of the song (see
heavy rotation) and it didn't matter anyway..
