(Top 50 Countdown!!!) 3. Helen Reddy - "Angie Baby"































So, "Angie Baby", answers on a postcard: did she imagine the entire thing? Doesn’t matter, it was real to her… and how she experienced it is what’s real to the record, and so what’s real to us. People come up to me all the time and say “Troods, Helen Reddy, what’s that all about?”, and I slap them around the face. Really, if you don’t see Angie (a “little touched” to start with but “insane” by the end, you’ll notice) and her radio in crystal-clear pop-o-vision in at least 50% of what we did then you haven’t been getting it at all. Look, that’s OK, each to his own, and I’m sure I’ve also been missing some layers of subtlety here and there (all ‘the onion’ layers-stuff… no?), but, well, I don’t know. “Pandora’s Box” on “The Great White Wonder” is the song of ours which is most obviously down to this one but, really, it’s everywhere.

"Think Bubble" is an album (LP only) of 1995 demos for an unreleased Pooh Sticks album.
See 'About Me' for details.
