This morning I heard Detox do "(We have joy, we have fun, we have) Seasons in the Sun", and I also recall a rendition of "I Think I Love You" (artiste unknown). What about "You Light Up My Life", "Having My Baby", "I Honestly Love You", and the billions of Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers and Air Supply songs DYING to be done over in this manner. THIS is an unoriginal idea whose time has come (and gone)!!!! What a perfect death for refrigerator music!!! -- "Do I just cut 'em up like regular chickens?" Rich Rosen ihnp4!pyuxd!rlr
