The things we do and have to do. The things I do for you and what you do for me too. The 'yeah, but I. . .' and any other excuse, and if you take it for given then what's the use.
COMING from any other band, these lyrics might sound painfully jaded, typical of music industry types who have been around the block too many times. But from the mouths of the Spin Doctors, they must be taken with a grain of salt.
With songs like Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, Refrigerator Car, Jimmy Olsen's Blues and Yo Mama's a Pajama it is hard to take them too seriously.
But the band's music demands attention. And its fans are a demanding lot. Spin Doctors fever has reached a pitch where its third album, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, has remained on the Billboard charts Top 40 for 65 weeks.
Fame and fortune has reached the New York City, four-member group almost inspite of itself.
''It's a running joke that we don't have an image. We never wanted to be a crossover Top 40 band. People have been telling us forever that we were crossover, and we'd say, 'Yeah, whatever'. We never really tried. We were trying to survive as a band,'' said lead guitarist Eric Schenkman on a recent visit to Hong Kong.
When a radio station in Manchester, New Hampshire, became inspired to play the catchy, biting Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, little did they know they were starting a Spin revolution.
