George Michael's 2-CD Hits Collection Twentyfive Lacks Some Hits...

Thu Apr 03, 2008 at 03:06:52 PM

My colleague Jason Harper at the Pitch is dismayed that the new George Michael two-CD hits collection TwentyFive (which we both received in the mail today) does not contain "I Want Your Sex."

I'll see his upset and raise him one more: Where is "Monkey"? SERIOUSLY. Why can't you set that monkey free, George, and include him on this hits CD? Whyyyyy?

It's also worth noting that the set is divided up thusly: Disc one is "For Living" and disc two is "For Loving." Which means that "Last Christmas" and -- tee hee -- "Father Figure" appear on the latter; "Too Funky" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" are on the former.

(Full tracklist at Jason's blog. I'm currently rocking "Fastlove" in my office here.)

UPDATE: MONKEYS RIDING TINY MOTORCYCLES.

My thoughts exactly. My friggin' $30 UK version I bought from a London record store is the EXACT SAME... no "I Want Your Sex" no "Monkey" ... oh, but they got Wham! songs on there.

Sure... that's like puking after a tequila binge and finding a twenty in your mouth nuggets. Sure you got twenty bucks, but your hands are also covered in your own filth and now you smell bad enough that they kick you out of Taco Bell, all "You're upsetting people" and you're all "I want a taco, mothereffer!" waving that nasty twenty around so people know you're not some bum off the street.

wait. what were we talking about?

No "I Want Your Sex"? C-c-c-c-c-come on!

Come on already, will you give this guy a break. He's one of the best, if not the best true talent out there. The man can SING; and yes, write songs. You should have gotten the 3 disc set...The Loyal. What have you accomplished in your lives? And forget the 1998 "bathroom crap;" I'm sure there are things you have done in your lives you wouldn't want the world to know. And the latest tabloid Bulls**t written about him, is just that, Bulls**t.

Do your homework, you might look and listen to his music in a totally different light.

P.S. 6 tickets to George's upcoming U.S. Tour. He's also one hell of a live performer. All in all, have a wonderful day!

Stop whining, you can get to see this fantastic guy!! I'm from the UK wanted to go Madison Sq garden gigs - but far too expensive to travel. Went to six of the Europe gigs last year. He is truly AMAZING!!! Best live performer, that voice is perfection!!
Wish I could see him again. you guys are the lucky ones!!
