Yes and it's been stuck in my head since then, so I think of Shania whenever the song comes on.

This could not have possibly been a thing....cripes!

Was hanging out a lot around here during that release, but, the fact that I can't recall doesn't mean anything. I'll just hope you're toying with me for this one
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I took the red pill on this one long ago. Feel fortunate you got to enjoy Unemployable Shania-free for all these years.

It used to ruin the song for me, but I actually have come around on it and now think it is one of the better songs on Avocado.

I love the lyrics of this one....Ed´s ability to sing from another perspective, the playfulness, the darkness about this deranged guy singing about a woman on the cover of an album...

Its awesome.

I would not want Johnny Guitar Watson staring at me while I was pissing. That would freak me out a bit.

I don't know where you were or what you were smoking, but it was mentioned constantly.

That would, in fact, go a long way towards explaining why I've no recollection whatsoever of this.

Now that I do, I can't unhear it

The only PJ song that reminds me of Shania Twain is LTRP. Not JG nor Unemployable.

JG reminds me a little of Thin Lizzy, and for what it's worth, Unemployable always gave me a Sheryl Crow vibe.

Not to mention the incredible music they captured. Jeff is at his absolute best and Ed's delivery is top notch.
