Yes, I disbelieve this is random, completely.

This doesn't ever really happen but I voted Sad, then read the thread and consequently changed my vote to In the Moonlight. Nice work, team. :thumbsup:

In the Moonlight is my pick, but it is really close.

Both are fantastic but Sad edged it for the bridge and instrumental break.

Why
I probably need to walk that statement back a little bit, but not necessarily by much. At the time, other than Dirty Frank, they had no real songs that didn't take itself that seriously. There is a gentle playful mocking tone that was surprising at the time, has a few moments of genuine humor, and has a wry sardonic quality that I find appealing.
