Aging alt-rockers (are we really that old?) remember Liz Phair for her 1994 hit “Supernova.” Young listeners love her 2003 radio hit “Why Can’t I?”
Both are pop masterpieces, but in between them was the album Whitechocolatespaceegg (all one word), which we consider to be the pinnacle of Phair-dom.
This is our phavorite track from that LP LP (get it?) … okay, bad acronym humor.
We won’t let it happen again.

LIZ PHAIR: “JOHNNY FEELGOOD”
Johnny feel good, Johnny right on
Johnny miss you, Johnny light on
Johnny makes me feel strangely good about myself
Moderation is a memory
Dive right in and let him send me
I could take this in doses large enough to kill
I never met a man who was so pretty inside
He’s got diamonds on the bed of his thumbnails and I
Never realized I was so dirty and dry
‘Til he knocked me down, started dragging me around in the
Back of his convertible car…
And I liked it
I liked it more and more
Crimson and Clover, soon he’s taken over all my senses
I never met a man who was so pretty inside
He’s got petals on the bed of his sweat sock drawer
And who the fuck am I to criticize him
‘Cause I really need him now, in fact
I’m kinda freaking out
And I’m wondering where the hell you all are …
I’ve never met a man I was so crazy about
It kinda has become an obsession to me
I hate him all the time, but I still get off
When he knocks me down and he orders me around
‘Cause it loosens me up
And I can’t get enough
And I’d pay to spend the night with him
Some more!
‘Cause I liked it …
I really, really, really liked it …
