Do they have no shame? Or do people that listen to them have no clue? Hmmm.

OR... people who like them like them because they have a similar sound to the Fab Ones. Every band is influenced by a band that came before them, you can't hate them for that.

Wow, really happy to see that someone mentioned Enuff Znuff.

Growing up near Chicago, it seemed like there were a lot of great bands all over the place. I grew up in Highland, an Indiana/ Chicago Suburb. I loved Enuff Z'Nuff, Sgt. Roxx, Alison's Mailbox... OK, most of these nobody has probably ever heard of, but there was a lot of talent in the area.

It is one thing to be influenced by a band and quite another to rip another off.

LMAO! Ok, it's been over an hour and I STILL have that horrid song in my head. It just keeps going and going and going....

Someone stop this! What do we do? Blow in a paper bag? They could play that song over a loudspeaker to torture prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Risen Up, Back on the street, Did my time, Took my chances
Blah, blah, blah, Now I'm Back on my feet with a will to survive! (or something like that)
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
It's the EYE OF THE TIGER!

Quick, give me another catchy song to replace it in my head...

A guy goes to the doctor, he says "Doc,I gotta song runnin' through my head and I can't get rid of it, it's driving me crazy".

"What's the song?" the doctor asked.

"The Green Green Grass of Home".

"Ahhh" said the doctor "The Tom Jones Syndrome".

"Is it common Doc?"

"It's not unusual."
