59. "Need You Tonight/Mediate" by INXS

For the song "Need You Tonight/Mediate," INXS produced the greatest rock n' roll video to ever use (a) flashcards with words ending in the sound "-ate / -eight / -eat / -ait / -aite / -ete" and (b) dumptrucks.

But that's not the reason I like this song. Well, I guess it's one reason. But it's not the ONLY reason. I like this song mainly because it reminds me of the time when I was dating Julie at Ricks. There was nothing better than driving down the road to the Grand Teton National Park in the black step-side Chevy pickup with Julie sitting next to me. She was one of my kind!

Most of the time, you'll hear "Need You Tonight" without "Mediate." And sometimes you'll hear "Need You Tonight" followed by "Mediate." But you'll never hear "Mediate" on its own. That's why it's a mystery to me why INXS would separate "Mediate" from "Need You Tonight" on it's own YouTube channel. I guess you'll just have to hit the play button on the second video when the first one stops.




Why did they dissociate "Mediate?" Ugh! Don't separate! That makes me irate! Together their great! I hate to berate or objurgate or vituperate, but it's not deadweight, so don't devaluate or isolate or bifurcate or amputate or obliterate or annihilate the first song's mate! "Mediate" should integrate and conjugate and culminate with lyrics that illuminate, not indoctrinate or pontificate or explicate why I have to rehydrate after I urinate or defecate, otherwise I'll ulcerate or constipate or flatulate, which can irritate or asphyxiate, so ventilate at a rapid rate, or you'll suffocate.

Burt.
