Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. CDLXXXVI--Jane Wiedlin: Tangled
How I hate to be late....
Regular readers (all three of you) will remember a post I wrote a couple of weeks back about Rebekah and her single "Sin So Well" which I'd forgotten about and discovered via some old mix tapes. Same story with this week's song, though I never would have guessed I'd write about a solo single before I wrote about one from this week's artist's original band (I actually thought I had, discovered I hadn't and quickly added one for a future post)....
Jane Wiedlin was born in Wisconsin in 1958. At the age of six her family moved to Los Angeles, and within a few short years she was involved in the L.A. punk scene eventually co-founding the Go-Go's with Belinda Carlisle. The Go-Go's would go on to phenomenal success, before drugs and money took their toll. Wiedlin went solo in 1985, and through the years has bounced from her solo career to reunions with the Go-Go;s to other musical projects. She is most well-known for co-writing the hit "Our Lips Are Sealed" which Rolling Stone ranked at #477 on its list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021 with her bandmates. For her solo career, she has released four studio albums, and four singles (with one top ten hit song). While the Go-Go's have disbanded (my guess is "for now"), Wiedlin continues to perform and record.
Fun Fact: Wiedlin played Joan of Arc in the 1989 comedy Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Her portrayal of one of the world's most revered saints was most excellent....
"Tangled" was released in 1990 on her album entitled, amazingly enough, Tangled. While the song was not released as a single, it did appear in the movie Pretty Woman and was on its soundtrack. The album did not chart.
"Tangled" chronicles a relationship on the brink and the emotions inherent in said situation--all within a fantastic pop ditty. Wiedlin doesn't reinvent the wheel with this one--it's just a catchy as all hell stanzas and a catchy as all hell chorus. Her voice is a little quirky (during my half-assed research someone compared her vocals to Cyndi Lauper and I thought that was an apt comparison) but she still delivers an impassioned performance, and lyrically, Wiedlin captures the angst of a failing relationship without turning it into sappy drivel. Also, I really like the way she overdubs certain words (doubting, crying) in an almost echo. Overall, just another really nice piece of pop pie from another in a long line of wonderful female performers.
Lyric Sheet: "Oh, baby/I'm so tangled/Twisted up like a lover/Was never, ever meant to be..."
Enjoy:

Friday Night Jukebox, Vol. CDLXXXV--Huey Lewis and the News: Trouble in Paradise
It's the late show....
My coolness quotient, never that high to begin with, takes a hit this week with the revelation that my introduction to this week's tune was from its appearance on an album thrown together (more or less) for charity. While the nobility of its cause (famine in Africa) is beyond reproach, the single that spawned the album--and most of the album for that matter--are not among rock and roll's finest. That being said, I do believe there is a second song from said album that will be featured in a future post. Exit stage right from Coolsville....
Huey Lewis and the News formed in 1979 in my forever home of San Francisco. While their first album generated good reviews, it didn't sell, but the next four more than made up for it with a top fifteen, back to back # 1's, and another top fifteen. They faded slowly but surely with their next several releases, though the band continued to tour regularly for many years. They have sold over thirty million albums, won a Grammy and been nominated for two more, and have won thirty Bammys (Bay Area Music Awards, now known as the Californian). For their career, Huey Lewis and the News have released ten studio albums, three compilation albums, and one live album. They have also released thirty-nine singles, with ten of them reaching the top ten, three of which went to #1. While the band hasn't broken up, they haven't performed since 2018, sadly because lead singer and frontman Huey Lewis was diagnosed with Meniere's disease, an inner ear disorder, which makes his performing impossible.
Fun Fact: The band's career really took off when their song "The Power of Love" was featured in the megahit movie, Back to the Future. They also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song.
"Trouble in Paradise" was originally released on their debut album, the ever so cleverly named Huey Lewis and the News. It was not released as a single, and the album did not chart. The version I'm featuring this week is a live version from the charity album We Are the World. It was once again not released as a single (for obvious reasons), but the album would go on to reach #1.
While I can't say I was ever a big fan of Huey Lewis and the News, being a pop music aficionado they did have a song or two that I enjoyed. I chose the live version of this week's song because it seemed more vibrant to me than the studio version, though the difference between the two is minimal. The band is tight, Lewis has a good voice for power pop, and the subject matter of the song (the evils of drugs) is a notch above their usual fare. Lewis' lyrics do a nice job of questioning what drugs have done to a once promising life without getting preachy--and with the singer admitting he's been there a time or two himself. While doing my listening this week, I couldn't help but wonder how I'd never noticed how central the saxophone was to the song--it's wails and screeching mimic not only the travails of the user, but also the friends and family left in his wake. In the end, it's another pop gem for the annals of Friday Night Jukebox--albeit a pop gem with a message.
Lyric Sheet: "American son he's not very old/An American dream that's never been sold/The smile on his face is his last disguise/We've got trouble in paradise..."
