Awesome. Hopefully this works 100% of the time.

Which album was that a review for? I assume that it’s not Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, based on Capn Marvel’s testimony:

‘Wonderful Tonight’ is either one of the worst ‘classic’ songs ever put to paper (my vote), or a stroke of genius on the level of ‘Yesterday’ by the Beatles. Its slow, the melody is dumb and sentimental, the little solo bit is cloying, and the words…the words. He talks about going to a party with his woman, going home, falling asleep…all the while telling how Wonderful his girl is Tonight. He even uses the awful phrase ‘The love light in your eyes’, like he’s talking about the little stars that used to blink whenever Davy Jones met some chick on the old Monkees show. But, despite all that, it’s powerful stuff. Women, almost all women, dig the shit outta this shit. Not to give away the game too much, but one time in college I learned how to play this song (badly) on my guitar and promptly got laid by some strange chick that night. Played it again some weeks later and promptly bagged the girl who later turned out to be my wifey. Be careful with this one. Handle with care. That kind of thing NEVER happened any of the fucking times I played Neil Young’s ‘Down By the River’ for a girl.
