Adam has said many times that this is NOT what the song is about! It's about stripping away the B.S., i.e,., the emotional barriers. Yes, I know that is what he says, but a radio listener will have no way of knowing that I will undoubtedly think of the sexual interpretation. That is true. And unfortunately, if it was coming from a straight guy or gal it would be played all over radio. |

I was JUST thinking that about BTIKM. It took me a while to stop skipping it cause I was so obsessed with the new songs but I really think it fits on the album, sounds so much like Adam and I totally understand why they picked it for a single. It is easy to have 20/20 hindsight and for us all to blame RCA for stuff but, gosh darn it, all these songs should have gotten attention. I agree. I don't know that BTIKM would have jumped out as a "radio single," but the vocal is amazing and it's a complex, mature song. BTW I HATE the term "radio friendly" and think it is laden w/BS and intangibles that no one can pinpoint. I actually think radio is victim to the whims of Clear Channel corporate and they can make or break anyone they want to ... or at least give them a fighting chance. This is why I'm on "Trespassing" bandwagon: I think the song is thematically and stylistically different enough to grab people's attention. Everyone keeps going along the MO of "fitting in," where I think Adam's strength lies in busting down doors. |

Live, he is telling people to take something off.  "Take it off, try me on" is pretty damn sexy in my book!! I don't think it will ever be a single. Nope, not to me. I mean, he giggles after he says "try me on". Even if I didn't have the background on what the meaning of the song was, the album version still would sound cute rather than sexy to my ears. But yes, live is a whole other story. :D |

I think RCA picked a song they thought would fit in or was radio friendly, but that made it not stand out enough. I hope and think they will have better luck with something unique that doesn't fit in because it doesn't sound like so much of what is being played. I think Somebody I Used to Know is an example of a smash that sounded unique. This is the reason I think Shady could be a smash. |
