I, finally, bow down to "Get Happy!!"
Okay, I'll be honest... "Get Happy!!" has been the main album I've been listening to for just over two months now. During that time, I've been arguing against it on here in its little matchups against "Armed Forces". I am here to admit that "Get Happy!!" has over 1,000 plays since the start of April. I listen to it when I shower, I listen to it at school, I listen to it while I type, I listen to it while I walk home.
Get Happy!! has finally overtaken me.
001. Get Happy!!
002. Armed Forces
003. This Year's Model
004. Imperial Bedroom
005. Trust
(006. blood and chocolate
007. mighty like a rose)

I've developed a theory, that apparently only applies to us.
"Get Happy!!" is hard to accept at first, when you've got the more accessible "This Year's Model" and "Armed Forces" in heavy rotation. In time, "Get Happy!!" will fight its way into your playtime, and it will surely take over.
Just you wait. "New Amsterdam" and "Opportunity" started it for me, then "King Horse" and "Riot Act"... and pretty soon the whole album.

The album takes on considerably more signifigance when you realize that the sessions were recorded during Elvis's infamous auditions as "George" in the London, England production of "Beatlemania".
While the producers praised his almost "natural" Liverpudlian accent, they claim he showed disdain for the fab four, with his American "Woody Allensque" eye glasses, as well as an exuberance unbecoming of "The Quiet Beatle".
-- Reuters Dec 1980.
