there's your real test- a video you would watch every time, but it's not in any music rotation for you.

Hank hits the nail on the head. At the time, ABC and Squeeze were each heavily played on the cassette deck of the Not Bobmobile as I crusied Highway 64 between East Podunkville and Podunkville proper, trying with varying degrees of success to impress girls who looked like Jennifer Jason Leigh in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High."
And yet today, Squeeze is on the iPod, and ABC is not. Shoot that poisoned arrow, indeed.
