182. Group hug!

182. "Still the One" by Orleans

If you find exposed belly-buttons on album covers entertaining, then I apologize for the group-hug cover on Orleans' 1976 album "Waking and Dreaming." I cannot spy a single belly-button anywhere. Oh, there's lots of chest hair and a handful of nipples. But no navels. Sorry.

My eyes are closed because I'm trying not to look at your....

In the 70s, if you had asked me what music group made up entirely of men that was most likely to pose topless on an album cover, I would have said, "What the hell?! Why are you asking me such a weird question? Pervert!"

Although this is not my favorite album cover in the world (I might need another top 200 list to figure that out), there is one visual treat on this cover that I do enjoy immensely--a bearded, non-balding George Costanza! If only Elaine were on the cover, too....



What puts this peppy Bicentennial chart-topping pop song on this list, besides the obvious triggering of memories of my early youth in Arimo, is the sing-along factor. It's lots of fun to sing the melody, but it's even more fun to sing harmony on the chorus, especially the bass part when they sing a cappella toward the end. I also have to admit that the main sentiment expressed in the song is pretty much exactly how I feel about my wife today--even after all these years together, she's still the one I want to scratch my itch. Especially in the morning just after waking up. Oh, yeah...to the left, to the left...up a little more...a little more...THAT'S the spot!
