Well He Was Just Seventeen

Today's feature took a perfectly good Beatles tune, and turned it on its head by changing one word. Instead of "I Saw Her Standing There," 80's pop icon Tiffany changed the song to "I Saw Him Standing There," and somehow produced a top 10 single with it. Doing her best Joan Jett/Pat Benetar impersonation with her voice her is the red head from 1987 with "I Saw Him Standing There"...

Children Behave

Amidst all of this testosterone (Poison, Loverboy, etc.), I had to add some estrogen, and what's more girlie than the pop sensation who used to date Jonathan Knight from NKOTB? How about the mall sensation... the now 37 year old Tiffany (wow) with her most popular song - a remake of the 1967 hit for Tommy James & the Shondells - "I Think We're Alone Now"...
