I hate to tell you this but Wham! never had a soul to sell. Listen to their
first songs.

Youngs Guns (Go For It!)
	"Tell that jerk to take a hike
	 There's something about that boy I don't like
	 Well sugar, he don't mean the things he said
	 Just get him out of my way 'cause I'm seein' red"

Wham Rap (Enjoy What You Do)
	"Give a Wham
	 Give a Bam
	 But don't give a damn"

	"If you're a pub man
	 Or a club man
	 Or a jet black guy
	 With a hip hi fi"

Bad Boys
	"We can't help but worry
	 You're in such a hurry
	 Mixing with the wrong boys
	 Playing with the wrong toys
	 Easy girls and late nights
	 Cigarettes and love bites
	 Why do you have to be so cruel
	 You're such a fool"

Now, it's not that I don't like these guys (because I do) but they never
had any ambition but to be fun and rich anyway, so how could they have sold
their souls ?

By the way, why are we attacking lyrics only ? Why not production of songs
also ? For example, what about that retarded "sexy" intro to "Swept Away"
by Diana Ross where she tries to seduce the listener by doing her imitation
of an asthmatic ? Or the ridiculous way Tina Turner barks "Better Be Good
To Me" like someone stripped her of her vocal cords ?

Also, how come no one posts any reviews of recent product like they do
on net.movies ?
