Songoftheday 8/19/18 - Been a whole lot easier since the bitch left town, been a whole lot happier without her face around...

"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" - Spin Doctors
from the album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite (1991)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #17 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 12

Today's song of the day comes from the alternative rock group Spin Doctors, who came together in New York City in the last half of the 1980s under lead singer Chris Barron. He brought guitarist Eric Schenkman from a previous band, and took on bass player Mark White and drummer Aaron Comess to dub themselves the Spin Doctors. After releasing a live EP after being signed to Epic Records, they released their debut full length album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite. The first single from the record was the uptempo groovy, funky, and funny story-song of "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong". Written by the band, who produced the record with Peter Denenberg and Frankie LaRocka, Barron's delivery sounded uncannily like 1970s Steve Miller, and in no time it became a huge rock and them pop radio hit, describing a girl who wants too much, something a lot of people could relate to, and the way Barron slurs through "bitch" in the lyrics that made it past radio censors was insidious...

"Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" became the Spin Doctors' first top-40 pop hit in December of 1992. The song spent a month (four weeks) at #2 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock radio chart. Internationally, the record peaked at #5 in New Zealand, and reached the top-40 in Australia (#16), the UK (#23), Belgium (#26), Ireland (#27), the Netherlands (#28), and Germany (#32). In Canada, the single took four weeks at #47.
