The remix is pretty lame ... maybe one of you can use the instrumental bits for a mashup.

That should really say "smooth jazz" remix or "quiet storm" remix. Funny stuff.

the lexicon of love was my soundtrack as a HS freshman in 1982. still kicks major ass to this day and still worth a listen.

he may work with a lot of questionable acts (tatu?) but trevor is an absolute genius.

the only YES song I can even listen to.

And those Frankie, PSBoys tracks are incredible.

Long live T Horn!

Yeah, but... "Can't Fight the Moonlight"?

Yes, you can. If the alternative is sounding like Leanne Rimes inna pseudoeuropop stylee, YOU MUST.
