Yeah, Michael apparently had this unusual fascination with little girls as victims in his music, from “Little Suzie” to the “Smooth Criminal” video.

DJ Rob commented on the post, The Super Bowl (and Allstate) created a No. 1 song after all – not by The Weeknd, but by these “brainy, brawny” Boys! 4 years, 6 months ago
If a scene involving a guy driving down the street singing an ‘80s tune causes that kind of reaction, then it’s not the commercial you should be worried about.

Thanks, Mr. Roach, for your very informative and interesting response. Your accounting of the facts is about as good as hearing directly from the Osmonds themselves, and I appreciate it – as I hope my readers will as well.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the comment, Martin! I’m looking forward to hearing their whole album when it’s released.

Hmmm… now I never would’ve thought of them.

I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. I’ve grown a little burned out from “Leave the Door Open.” Staying tuned in anticipation.

Sorry chap, but you’re wrong on both fronts: 1) Falco was not a member of After the Fire, he recorded his own solo version of “Der Kommisar” before the group After the Fire covered it; and 2) Falco was not a one-hit wonder as a solo act, he followed up “Rock Me Amadeus” with another top-40 hit, “Vienna Calling,” the same year.

Great insight, thanks. I guess Billboard giveth and Billboard taketh away. That change you mentioned, btw, is how “Come Together”/“Something” made it to No. 1 in 1969.
