Cool, I didn’t know that. It does feel like a Cathy Dennis song. Kudos.

She did Toxic but everyone knows that don’t they? (Or at least anyone who’s heard of Cathy Dennis would)

One of Semisonic wrote Someone Like You by Adele.
Andy McCluskey of OMD wrote Whole Again by Atomic Kitten.
Jessie J wrote Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus.
Hans Zimmer off of the serious films wrote the Going for Gold theme song.
Georgio Moroder wrote Son of My Father by Chicory Tip.
I’ve got tons of these, I live for this stuff

Wow, did not know this. Not only wrote it but released his own version before the Chicory Tip one it seems

Never heard of them. Just did a quick search and their song he did doesn’t sound familiar. Are they Dis faves or something? Just found out he also co-wrote and produced this…

MM didn’t, was someone in his music production company called Josh Marcell

I have just googled this to find out as the thought that MM had scored Crash was special to me, and… I just needed to know, for reals

McCluskey created Atomic Kitten outright, he wanted a vehicle for his more pop oriented songs so he created the band. He probably wrote a lot more for them

Haha that’s like two polar opposites of 70s aesthetics too!

Listened to a decent podcast episode about this recently which confirmed this is hyperbolic at best. He contributed a few lines to the US version of the jingle just like probably a hundred plus others did in different territories around the world.

I still can’t believe Jackson Browne wrote These Days when he was just sixteen.

Sixteen! How can you write lyrics like “I had a lover. I don’t think I’d risk another these days” when you’re sixteen??!!

Probably in my top 10 all-time favourite records.
