irrational musical obsession of the day

Also courtesy Mirabai, but I don't know why I can't stop listening to it, actually I do, but it's odd and convoluted:

You just Haven't Earned It Yet, Kirsty MacColl version

Ah, Kirsty.

I first heard her in 1984. "He's on the beach." I looked for that song for 17 years before I found it.

Yes! I knew that one was a gamble, 'cause Kate said the Smiths might have unpleasant associations, but I thought that MacColl's cover was so perfect in any number of ways. Glad to hear it worked.

The other one with a question mark over it was "You Miss The Point Completely, I Get The Point Exactly" (which was stuck in my head for the better part of yesterday). I'm curious to hear how it struck you. Thoughts?

(Also "The Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine", but that's more of a style thing.)
