The Commodores - Easy
Wait, what? You knew this? You sneaky little...argh. Alright, we'll talk home, you do the dishes.
So, turns out that this track (on which we've all made out at one point or another and which all Patton fans are surely sick of) was not written by Faith No More after all. I just found out. It was written by Lionel Richie, way back in 19something. He was part of the group Commodores, which I've always confused with The Communards and so gasped in awe at the idea that Jimmy Somerville might have come up with a song like this. But no, we're ok, he didn't. Richie and his gang, who used to open for the Jackson 5, wrote this. It all makes sense now, doesn't it?
And what was I doing checking out The Commodores? Well...what? I do like Motown stuff and...I'm a Lionel Richie fan? Alright, alright, I'm not. But it might interest you that another pretty cool band took some interest in The Commmodores some years back, so much so that they designed their '94 album cover as a tribute to them. Drum-fucking-roll, prrrrrrrrrr oh, nevermind, you've already seen it:
