"Words Enough to Tell You": If I ever do my idea of a Fake Beatles bracket competition, I predict this song would finish pretty high.

Gaylord Fields:

@StuBot: My Beatles fandom should go unchallenged, and speaking for myself, when you have two hours a week and 100+ years of music to choose from, oftentimes it's a better choice to play songs not already easily available in most households.

Re: Dunkin Donuts
For me, the 24-hour availabilty of fresh coffee was always a plus. My local small-business coffee vendor had a tendency to just serve a pot until it was empty... no matter if it was sitting there burning on the hot plate for hours. Wa-Wa has upped the ante in Jersey regarding 24-hour coffee with its endless varieties and non-dairy creamer selections.

Slightly Drunk is one of the few songs that I know that has backing vocal lines that never appear otherwise in the song. In fact, it could be argued that the backing vocals take the lead in the chorus.

New Groovies song sounds like old late 70’s Groovies. Very Byrd’s as usual. IMO The Groovies are overrated. Speaking as someone who bought their 1st album upon release.
