Song of the Day #1,470: ‘The Loved One’ – INXS

Often after I make a list on this blog of any sort, I spend the next few weeks rethinking what I put on it and running into things that might have fit better.

When today’s song popped up as a random iTunes selection, I immediately wondered how INXS’ Kick escaped my list of the best albums of the 80s.

Did I consider it and dismiss it? I can’t imagine that I did. But how would I have missed it when it’s sitting right there alongside all of the other 80s music in iTunes?

This album absolutely belonged on that list, even if I can’t say off the top of my head what I would kick out in order to fit it in.

But I guess that’s why I have the Random iTunes Fairy, to help me make amends for oversights like this one.

Yonder she’s walking
She comes my way
Her red dress on
Her long black hair

Walking like
Talking like
Wanting like
She comes to me

Oh baby
I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can’t go on

Helpless baby
Evil child
I’ve known you well
And if you want to stay
That’s alright
You want me again
And then you come a running to me
Well baby baby
That’s alright
That’s alright
That’s alright

And now she’s gone
She’s walking away
Her red dress on
Her long black hair
Well I love her so
And now she’ll come running
Anytime I say now
I want you back
I can’t go on

Oh baby I love you so
I need you now
I want you back
I can’t go on

I love you so baby
I need you so
I want you back
I can’t go
I can’t go on

    I would have to look back at my list responding to your 80’s list to be sure, but I think I had inxs in there, though it may not have been this album. Their albums definitely deserve best of consideration. I’m sure there are a few albums I could kick off your list to make room for inxs:)
