Here's a blurb I found interesting about the Boomtang Boys' cover of BSN...this one of course appeared on our Volume 4 (The Power of Cheese) even though it's more camp than cheese, and Vince, one you can probably use in your aerobics classes... Bob NP: Shelby Lynne, "Why Can't You Be?" "The best of the lot are Billy Idol's "Dancing With Myself" (sung by Kim Esty), T-Rex's "Bang A Gong" (sung by Radiate's Devin Mason) and the hidden track, Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" (sung by Emese Zaduban, an artist The Boomtang Boys might sign to its label). Why the crystalline wistfulness of "Both Sides Now" is buried in the hidden portion of the CD, even after an alternate hidden mix of Hot Butter's "Popcorn" has pumped its course, is a mystery. Melodic, reflective and a song with some substance, it just might be the recognizable hit Virgin International needs to break pop charts all over the world. "For some reason, somebody at the record label thought that putting on a cover of a Judy Collins song -- that's the way they put it. It's Joni Mitchell but Judy had the big hit -- would actually be detrimental to the sales of the album, which just blew my mind. So (our A&R guy) decided it would be put on the album as a hidden track." Paul, who DJs six nights a week locally and has developed a keen sense for what the movers and shakers want (the reason record labels have gone to The Boomtang Boys in the first place to get the team's treatment on singles), says he actually uses that track to reinstate life to the dancefloor when he's played a "bad" song. "Depending on the night, 'cause I play two very house nights and wouldn't play it on those nights, but the more commercial nights, if I screw up and play something that clears the floor, I grab it and put it on and I'll get all the people back on the floor again."
