Well that was a much better score than expected... not that I don't highly enjoy the song, I just had incredibly low expectations.

Just Like Jesse James

I can't explain why I like this song so much. The lyrics aren't great and they repeat way too often; Cher herself never liked the song; it's not even the best "Cher song from the Heart of Stone" album, to say nothing about the rest of her works. But... I dunno. I still like it anyway.

I have a high bias towards her due to her being some of the only music I was exposed to when I was quite young--if you ever want to hit me with nostalgia try anything of Cher's from before the 90s, Dolly Parton's brief foray into pop music in the 80's, the few songs Placido Domingo released in English, or The Monkees.

...why you would want to throw me on a nostalgia trip is a question I don't have an answer for, but if for some reason you ever need to induce flashbacks, those are pretty good places to start.

[Edit after the topic went up: Well my prophetic dream did not come true. I dreamed that the song in dead last was a Pokemon game song, Goldenrod City I believe, nominated by...someone with a W in their name, Wicklebee maybe? Se7en went on a bit of a rant about how much he hated Game Boy music and resented allowing it in the first place; "Just Like Jesse James" was the second lowest song, with the only write-up being "at least this is actually music".

...though in a way I was sorta close; the lowest song's description did involve Se7en complaining about allowing it in & the first "actual" song to be eliminated was one of mine featuring a song title with a celebrity name in it. Not perfectly accurate, but still a lot more accurate than I would have assumed.]
