I Only Wanna Be With You by Bay City Rollers

“(I didn't want to write about any song that Spotify suggested, but this one especially. Who cares about the Bay City Rollers?) Who cares about the Bay City Rollers? This song was made eternal by Dusty Springfield, and this version (recorded 12 years later - are we rerecording songs from 2003?) really doesn't add that much to it, but was apparently much more successful. I would have imagined that this song was written by Lieber and Stoller or something, but it's actually two relatively unknown songwriters - both with only a handful of credits to their name, but I guess one of them is the dad of one of the Cocteau Twins. Regardless, this a fantastic melody with awesome runs up and down the scale. I like how bright and positive it is. Am I being weird, or does it kind of come from a place of self-doubt, like the singer is confirming something he's not exactly sure of? Timeless, either way.”

There was a legend making the round that they didn't wear undies, but put on a fresh pair of jeans every day.   2
