Rupert Holmes "Him"

Rupert Holmes' lasting mark on music comes courtesy of  songs about cheating. We all met the man who sought someone more exciting than his current spouse so he responds to a personal ad in the song "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)". Despite the song's theme, I can't find anyone (other than me) who doesn't like the song. In Holmes' follow-up hit, "Him", he sings about finding a pack of cigarettes that aren't his and suspects his lady friend is having an affair. Maybe a pina colada will make him feel better?

Melissa Manchester - "Don't Cry Out Loud"

Please see the following lyrics to "Don't Cry Out Loud" and answers the question: are these lyrics are absurd?

Baby cried the day the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want parades just passin' by her
So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown
While she dances without a net upon the wire
I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me

The answer is: YES!
