- So? Barbra Streisand has a wonderful voice. She has rarely chosen, however,
- to use it to produce music.
-
- I have to agree with the original poster. Had I remembered this one on my own,
- it would have scragged whatever else I was considering. In fact, it now has.
- This song was all time bad.
-
- Another baddie was the old "I've got a brand new roller skate and you've got
- a brand new key." It included such lyrics as "I don't go very fast but I go
- pretty far." Again, it was done in a sickly sweet cutesy style, though I forget
- by who. Similar style to the one originally mentioned. Same era. Bad. Dumb.
-
- But hey, just my opinion, eh?
